Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80957, member: 636"] The Super Eagles' coach says his team needs to learn how to close out games. Eric Sekou Chelle made the statement after Nigeria's tense 3-2 win over Tunisia at the AFCON, a result that secured their spot in the knockout round. He praised the team's attacking intensity but highlighted the need for better game management after allowing two late goals. Chelle emphasized that staying focused for the full ninety minutes is a crucial detail at this level. Man of the match Ademola Lookman echoed the sentiment, noting the team showed important character when the momentum shifted. He credited the coach's clear instructions for allowing players to express themselves on the field. Both acknowledged the victory as a growth opportunity, emphasizing that unity and discipline in challenging moments are crucial to tournament success. [/QUOTE]
