Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle said he is under pressure to grind out result in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 clash against the Black Mambas of Mozambique Monday in Fez, Morocco.
Having won all their group C games Chelle said the team is now under pressure to deliver against Mozambique and the other teams they might meet along the way to the final.
“We want to win the next game. If God gives us the chance to go to the quarterfinal, we will think about the quarterfinal,” Chelle said Sunday.
“But now we think about this game against Mozambique and for sure we want to win this game. Yeah, we are under pressure.”
However, he said his team is balanced and the players are ready to give 100%.
“This is the best time for that. We need to have everybody at 100%.
“Now I have a headache, because everybody can play [in the team].”
