Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle said he is focused on winning every game as he leads Nigeria to face Zimbabwe in today's world cup qualifier encounter in Uyo, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Franco-Malian tactician in the pre-match press conference on Monday said, “I talked to my players and I told them I want to win every game so I’m focused on the next game which is against Zimbabwe and after the game against Zimbabwe we can think about the next game,” “But now I just want to talk about the Zimbabwe game which is the most important for my team.”

The former Mali coach said he was happy for Super Eagles players for recording the win away to Rwanda.

“It’s just one game and we’ve done the job and I was happy for my players, happy for the country but this is just one game. After the game I said we need to be focus on the second game which is the most important now. I was proud of my players for what they did in Rwanda it was very difficult but they did the job.

“So yesterday (Sunday) we had a good training session so we need to go again to the pitch to prepare for the game tomorrow.”

The former Mali head coach, however, predicted a tough encounter for the Super Eagles against Zimbabwe.

“It will not be easy because Zimbabwe are a good team with good players and a good coach who has a good project so we need to be focused on our team and do everything to win.”

On the impact players of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) can add to the Super Eagles, Chelle added:”I think there are lots of players in the Nigerian league who can add something to our national team but they need to work and know how my team plays so this is why I picked three players (from the league) and they are very good for the future.”
