Eagles’ Quick Play And Control Of Possession
Reacting after the game, Ekpo in a chat with Completesports.com, praised the Super Eagles’ quick play and control of possession against a Poland side that was playing at home.
He noted that he’s impressed with the performance of the players despite playing a 2-2 draw against the host.
“It was a good game to watch, and I am impressed with the outcome of the result against Poland. The Super Eagles’s quick play and control of possession show how well the players are adapting to Eric Chelle’s tactical setup.
“From the defence to the attack, the players gave their best and could have won the game had the players closed down the space that gave the Polish player that vision to hit a shot from that distance.
