Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Chelle revealed he's weighing up two options: letting Tunisia dominate possession or sticking with his preferred playing philosophy.

"I have two things in mind, to give the ball to Tunisia or continue my philosophy, but I can't tell you which I will go with because Tunisia are a great team," Chelle said, highlighting the respect he has for the North Africans.

Tunisia, known for their organization and experience, present a tough test for Nigeria, who are still adjusting to Chelle's ideas.
