Chelle believes that success in the playoffs will propel his team towards achieving their ultimate goal in Morocco.
“Before AFCON, there’s a crucial target: the World Cup play-offs. The goal is to win those matches,” Chelle told cafonline.
“If we arrive on the back of play-off success, stopping us will be difficult.”
The Super Eagles have been drawn against Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda in Group C at the AFCON.
