Jamaica Set up Unity Cup Final Clash with Super Eagles

Jamaica booked their spot in the Unity Cup Tournament final after a 2-0 victory over India. They will face Nigeria, who also won their semifinal 2-0 against Zimbabwe, in Saturday's final at London's Charlton Athletic Stadium.

Nigeria's Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, acknowledged the performance of winger Femi Azeez, who scored both goals in his debut match against Zimbabwe. However, Chelle expressed that Azeez is still a "work in progress," highlighting technical deficiencies in his play.

“

Technically, he lost a lot of balls, so I’m not happy. He got many balls back but sometimes he didn’t get the balls, so I’m not happy.

"Technically, he lost a lot of balls, so I’m not happy," Chelle stated at the post-match press conference. "He got many balls back but sometimes he didn’t get the balls, so I’m not happy." Despite the criticism, Chelle congratulated Azeez on his two goals and indicated that a decision on his involvement in upcoming matches against Poland and Portugal would depend on his state of mind.

Chelle also stressed that his primary expectation for the team was high intensity and consistent pressing throughout the 90 minutes, a goal he felt was not fully met. The Super Eagles are aiming to defend their Unity Cup title, having defeated Jamaica in last year's final.

“

But for the first time, we can say ‘Congratulations Azeez’. And we will see after. If I wake up with a good state of mind, and I want him in the team for the Portugal and Poland games, I’ll say yes, but if I don’t want I will say no.
