“Penalties are part of the game, and it can decide who wins a match. Every time I go into a game, I have the mentality to win,” Chelle told thenff.com.
“This is the culture I have put in these boys – the winning culture. I don’t know if Saturday’s game will end in penalties; what I know is that I have prepared my team to win.”
The encounter will kick-off at 5.30pm Nigeria time.
It will be preceded by the third-place play-off between Zimbabwe ,and India.
