The head coach of the national senior team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has suggested that the team maintains the formation of diamonds when they qualify for the 2026 World Cup resumes in September, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.
The coach has played with the training since he assumed the position of coach of the Super Eagles, with two draws and three victories in five games so far. It seems safe to maintain training.
Nigeria will face Rwanda and South Africa, respectively, in the World Cup qualifiers, where they are currently six points from the leaders of South Africa, although a deduction of three potential points is expected to prepare a non -eligible player to be criticized in South Africa.
Speaking about his tactics, Chelle explained why he prefers to play diamond formation in an interview with Onzemondial.
“I Like the 4-4-2 in diamond. I like to play with two strikers, have numerical superity in midfield. Scholause already, there are not many teams that play with a diamond. So, we are still in numerical superiority in midfield. And then, i also like like the flat 4-4-2 That Turns 4-2-4 when you have the ball ”,
Chelle went further to defend the system saying that like all tactics, it has its strength and weakness, but it can vary depending on how the team and the availability of players are configured.
“Each scheme and vision has strengths and weaknesses. In games systems, it is the animation what it counts. You can play in 4-3-3, with a superior striker who goes to the midfield, as in Barça (Barcelona) of Guardiola (Barcelona) with Messi. In reality, it became a diamond. So it is the animation of your players and the profile of your players that makes you read or not.
“The idea is to have an initial system. But, again, what matters to me is the movement. I play in a 4-4-2 diamond. If I have two main attackers, I know that I will be more axial. Now, if in my two attackers, two ends align, I necessarily know that my two ends, unconsciously, will be oriented towards the runs.
“Then, in fact, the most important thing for me, when we talk about the game system, is the animation and profile of the players who will align. They are the ones who will feed their system. And to answer their question, there is no ideal system. I have a preferential system, but above all, work in the animation and movements of my players,” he concluded.
