Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle, has praised his players for their impressive performance against the Warriors of Zimbabwe.
The Super Eagles defeated Zimbabwe 2-0 in their Unity Cup semi-final encounter at the Valley on Tuesday night.
Millwall winger Femi Azeez scored both goals for the Super Eagles.
Chelle was happy with the efforts put in by his players in the build-up to the game.
“This game was good. The players worked a lot during the two days — two training sessions of three hours each — so they worked a lot and deserved this victory,” Chelle said after the game.
The Malians also had kind words for their opponent.
“Zimbabwe is a good team with strong players and they played well to win this game. I am happy for them. Congratulations to the players,”added Chelle.
Chelle also congratulated Man of the Match Femi Azeez on his goal-scoring debut, but at the same faulted some of the things that the Millwall winger failed to do.
Femi Azeez made the dream debut with two goals for the Super Eagles to sink Zimbabwe and advance to the final of the Unity Cup Saturday in London.
“He scored two goals, I congratulate him, but he lost a lot of balls, so not happy with him even though he recovered some of these balls,” Eric Chelle said at the post-match media briefing.
