Chelle Laments The Poor Quality Of NPFL Games

Nigeria senior national team coach Eric Chelle has lamented the poor quality of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matches he has watched in recent days, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

The coach has been touring the league venues in search of players who will be part of this team for the next Unity Cup tournament in London, and has settled for only five of them.

His decision to pick just five is due to the poor nature of the game he saw, although he feels some of the players are talented but need further development.

Chelle, from what we gathered, watched two games where he wondered how players are playing at that level, which is supposed to be the highest in the country, and feels it’s more of a function or poor recruiting and training.

For now he does not see any of the players worthy enough to be part of the Super Eagles, particularly in certain areas where they are loaded with options that can pass among the best in Africa at the moment.
