Chelle mulls tactical U-turn, could ditch tiki-taka for Tunisia

Nigeria's coach is considering a more counterattacking style. Super Eagles manager Eric Chelle stated he is deciding between two tactical plans for the AFCON match against Tunisia. One option involves ceding possession and attacking directly upon winning the ball, a shift from Nigeria's usual controlling philosophy. He acknowledged the strength of the Tunisian side as a reason for the potential adjustment. Nigeria currently holds three points in Group C, trailing Tunisia only on goal difference. A victory would significantly improve their chances of winning the group, which could lead to a more favorable knockout round draw.
