Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has highlighted areas that require improvement as the team prepares to face Tunisia in their upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations match. This assessment comes after Nigeria’s 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their AFCON opener, where goals from Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman secured the win.

The match, played in Morocco, saw Miguel Ángel Gamond’s Tanzanian team put up a good fight, but ultimately fall short. Chelle noted in a post-match interview that the second half of the game revealed some weaknesses that need to be addressed. “The second half of the game against Tanzania shows clearly that there is still some work to be done, especially when it comes to killing the game,” he stated. The coach acknowledged the issue and expressed his intention to work on it.

Following their win, Nigeria currently occupies the second position in Group C, with Tunisia leading the group after their 3-1 victory over Uganda. The Super Eagles will need to improve their performance to overcome Tunisia and maintain their position in the group.

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is a crucial tournament for Nigeria, and the team’s success will depend on their ability to address their weaknesses and capitalize on their strengths. With the match against Tunisia approaching, Coach Chelle and his team will be focusing on perfecting their strategy and execution.

As the tournament progresses, Nigeria’s performance will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. The team’s ability to adapt and improve will be key to their success in the competition. With the right adjustments and mindset, the Super Eagles may be able to overcome the challenges ahead and make a strong showing in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
