Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has suggested a possible tactical shift ahead of Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Morocco on Wednesday.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Chelle acknowledged that some of his players are showing signs of fatigue after a demanding tournament schedule.

The Malian coach has predominantly used a 4-4-2 diamond formation, with Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams leading the attack.

So far, the Super Eagles have scored 14 goals in five matches, creating the highest number of scoring chances in the competition.

Their high-tempo, aggressive style has overwhelmed opponents including Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Mozambique, and Algeria.

Chelle indicated that the team’s fatigue may require a more measured approach in the semi-final.

“I find that my group is tired; it might be time for me to change my approach,” he said.

He added that the team may adopt a cautious start, aiming to control the first half before implementing their attacking game in the second half.

The semi-final clash against host nation Morocco will be a key test of Nigeria’s adaptability and endurance in the tournament.
