Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has hailed Nigeria’s home-based players, saying that they have the qualities to perform at the highest level.
Many coaches who have managed the Nigerian senior national team have faced constant criticism for overlooking home-based players.
But speaking to the press following the Super Eagles’ 2-1 win over West African rivals Ghana in the Unity Cup in London on Wednesday, Chelle who used some home-based players in the match, disclosed his intention to give them more chances.
Like I said, these players have some quality, and my job is to analyse and make some choices. If I am wrong, I am guilty, but the reality is that I want to give some chances to these guys because I need to put in my team some guys who can add something, because we need to win, and it is important for me.
