2024 CHAN: Eagles Under Pressure To Beat Sudan - Eric Chelle

Head Coach of the Super Eagles Eric Chelle admitted that his players are under pressure to beat Sudan’s Falcons of Jediane in a must-win 8th Africa Nations Championship group D encounter in Zanzibar on Tuesday, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Chelle said the team must go into clear-eyed overdrive to cut the feathers of the Falcons and go ahead to drive Congo’s Devils into the ditch a week later, to stand any realistic chance of making it to the knockout rounds in the rather irregular 19-nation finals.

“I just want to win this game against Sudan; this is my game project. We are under pressure but we are ambitious and must win tomorrow. This game is the most important for us because a win can bring something good for the team,”

Title-holders Senegal scored with their only shot on goal with only a quarter-hour left in the two teams’ clash on Tuesday last week, rendering this Tuesday’s clash with the Sudanese a win-or-wind-up for the Super Eagles B. 

The venue for the must-win encounter is the 15,000-capacity Amaan Stadium on the island of Zanzibar where the 2018 runners-up fell to their West African rivals.
