Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has issued a bold challenge to Jamaica ahead of tomorrow’s Unity Cup final in Brentford.
He declared that Nigeria is fully focused and determined to claim the trophy.
The Nigerian team earned their spot in the final with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Ghana at the Gtech Community Stadium. Cyriel Dessers and Semi Ajayi’s deflected goal sealed the win.
Chelle insists the Super Eagles are not just aiming to participate but to emerge victorious.
“Our mindset is clear; we’re going for the trophy,” he affirmed after the match.
He acknowledged Jamaica’s strength, calling them a quality team with a solid coaching staff. However, he emphasized Nigeria’s readiness to give their all in the final clash.
Since taking charge, Chelle has secured two wins and a draw, pushing his philosophy of intensity and pressing.
“I want high-tempo, aggressive football, and the players are responding well,” he said.
Reflecting on the Ghana match, Chelle praised his team’s resilience.
“We controlled the first half, fought through fatigue in the second, and showed great commitment,” he added.
