Former Super Eagles manager, Christian Chukwu, has described as a good start the team’s 4-1 defeat of the Mena of Niger at the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Kigali, Rwanda.
Eagles outclassed neighbours, Niger 4-1 in yesterday’s Group C second match at the 22,000 capacity Stade Regional Nyamirambo, Kigali.
Chukwu said the convincing victory will further boost the players’ confidence ahead of their encounters against the other group opponents, Tunisia and Guinea.
“It’s a good result and the right way to start their title campaign at the African Nations Championship in Rwanda. The massive win will certainly motivate the team to go further in the biennial football championship.
“Of course, Tunisia and Guinea will certainly be tougher than Niger Republic given the hard fought 2-2 draw in their own clash.
“Three points is quite good for the Eagles going forward in the championship in Kigali, Rwanda,” said the former Nigerian strongman to supersport.com.
Eagles will engage the North African giants, Tunisia on Friday at the Stade Regional Nyami-rambo in Kigali while the last group match will be against West African foes, Guinea on Tuesday, January 26.
