UNITY CUP GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR HOME-BASED PLAYERS-LAWAL.

The General Manager of Shooting Stars FC, Dimeji Lawal, is optimistic that the current international break will benefit Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle. 

According to Lawal, this period will give Chelle enough time to blend home-based and foreign-based players, thereby allowing him to instill his strategy and philosophy into the team.

He noted that the Unity Cup tournament in London and the upcoming friendly match against Russia will provide Chelle with opportunities to work closely with players, adding that he can now identify his players and introduce his ideology, which would not be possible during a regular tournament due to time constraints.

Lawal maintained that the break will enable Chelle to work extensively with players, teaching them how he wants the team to play, noting that the Super Eagles’s game with Russia at the Stadion Luzhniki in Moscow on Friday would give Chelle a chance to test his strategies and player combinations.
