48-Hour Tactical Switch: How Femi Azeez Turned Super Eagles Striker in Debut Brace
Millwall winger Femi Azeez has revealed how a 48-hour training crash course transformed him from a wide midfielder into a central striker for Nigeria’s Super Eagles. Under coach Eric Chelle’s direction, Azeez switched from the flank to spearhead a 2-0 win over Zimbabwe. The 24-year-old seized the role, breaking a 55-year debut scoring record with a clinical brace. Despite the historic performance, Chelle urged Azeez to sharpen his possession play and tactical awareness before he challenges for a permanent spot in the upcoming fixtures against Poland and Portugal. Ahead of the Unity Cup final this weekend, Azeez’s new versatility could prove to be Nigeria’s unexpected weapon.
