Chelle suggests changing a new defensive formation, finds a new partner for Osimhen in attack

The chief coach of the national senior team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has hinted at a change in the defensive form of his team, which could see them return to an option of three centers in the World Cup classifying games against Rwanda and South Africa, respectively, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.

Chelle has played with a plane four with the Super Eagles since he assumed the position of coach, but said that he is now considering altering the style as part of how to help the team to defend themselves better, especially against high squeeze teams.

“We have to score goals and I hope we do not grant it. We have defensively done what was expected and it is an area that we are looking for a little to a formation that protects the goalkeeper more when we played in September,” said the coach in Abuja.

Meanwhile, the sources close to Maliense say that Getafe Uche Chrisantus striker will probably begin in attack together with Victor Osimhen before Adela Lookman Ademola, who lacks the practice of matches without thanks to the transfer dispute he is having with Atalanta.

Uche is seen as someone who understands the coach’s desire for his team to press in the field, and will undoubtedly play a very important role in both games. It is expected to arrive at the camp as a player of the Palacio de Crystal of the English Premier League with his movement hoping to be official after a doctor.
