The newly appointed coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle recently visited players of the senior national team of Nigeria at their various bases ahead of the world cup qualifiers games in March.
Chelle who will be in charge of the team for the first time in the away game against Rwanda and the game at home against Zimbabwe used the opportunity to explain his ideas, plans and tactics to the players.
He also encouraged the players not to lose hope on their chances of making it to the world cup, because they have the quality and what it takes to win all their remaining games in the series.
We sought to hear from a senior player the content of what was said between them. He refused to categorically state what was said in the brief meeting, he rather joked by replying to our inquiry using a picture of Chelle where water was being pour on his head during the last AFCON.
” I told him I can assure you we won’t let them pour water on your head”, he replied with a laugh emoji at the end of the text.
