“I just want to say it was a difficult game because Rwanda is a good side. I know the coach, he is a good coach, we made a great game too.
“I am so happy and proud of my players, my guys and the Nigerian people,” Chelle said.

“I think the victory or the win is normal because in the first half, they had only one chance to score.
“We keep the ball in the 2nd half. We played two to three systems.
“I am happy now because this is just one game. We have some weaknesses and some strengths, my job is to think about the game project,” Chelle said.
