Sudan head coach Kwesi Appiah has expressed satisfaction with his team’s victory over Nigeria, reports Completesports.com.
The Falcons thrashed Éric Chelle’s side 4-0 in a Group D encounter at the 2024 African Nations Championship on Tuesday night.
Tactical Masterstroke From Appiah
“I was surprised with the performance of some of my players. If you noticed, my changes came deep into the second half because everyone was playing really well,” the Ghanaian was quoted by CAFonline.

“We knew it was going to be tough, especially the first 20 minutes. Our tactical play was to absorb pressure and hit them on the counter.”
“I wasn’t expecting the scoreline, but I knew if we play our best, we could defeat Nigeria.”
Respect For The Super Eagles
Despite the emphatic scoreline, Appiah was gracious toward his opposite number, Eric Chelle: “I think the home-based Super Eagles aren’t that bad. On the whole, tactically, they played well,” he added.
“The coach only needs to do some polishing with the attack. The first game against Senegal wasn’t that bad; in the second game, they had stints of possession, but our approach helped us.”

It was not a surprise for me or a few persons after the loss against Senegal. I have always known Sudanese side led by Kwesi Appiah was no match for a political destabilised Nigerian home based team. Chelle will come back in shame to Nigeria but if he allows those who does not understand football to influence him again then he will have himself to blame.
This is just a tip of an iceberg: I hope he starts using simple wisdom to scout by himself and stop fraternising with football politicians. I feel sorry for him because he has exposed himself to same demonic criticism from these same people who started the destruction of influencing him. Coz how can you spend months in Nigeria and unable to assemble super 22 to Chan. Zanzibar friendlies should have helped you avoid this disgrace but you got blinded thinking a draw against a tiny nation was a pass mark. How weird and for those thinking of winning in other to get 100k dolls reward how market? Corruption can never see light so keep dreaming because a lot of you are not professional footballers, some can not even complete a short pass or do anything basic!
The boys are not good (home based eagles)
Nigeria can do better than this,. We could easily raise two local based team that could have beaten this Sudan team that it’s country is in a civil war. Using Remo stars team to represent Nigeria is Nepotism at its worst level. Maybe they are trying very hard Cozy up to Tinubu and his Yoruba Lagos boys. They’ve ruined Nigeria economy, now they want to mess up it football too. Shame.
