Eric Chelle praises Tolu Arokodare after win over Tanzania
Nigeria's Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has admitted that Nigeria still have areas to improve despite their 3-1 victory over Tanzania in Friday night’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three encounter in Uyo.
Goals from Alhassan Yusuf and substitute Tolu Arokodare, who scored twice, secured all three points for Nigeria against Miguel Gamondi’s side.
Alphonce Msanga scored Tanzania’s only goal of the encounter.
Reacting to the victory, Chelle acknowledged the positive aspects of his team's performance but insisted that the players must address certain shortcomings before Tuesday’s return fixture in Tanzania.
“There are a lot of good things, but there are some bad things. We are not perfect. We have a few days to correct everything,” Chelle told reporters after the match.
“We have to go to Tanzania to win the next game. The most important is the next game.”
