Coach Jose Peseiro of the Super Eagles has praised the Angolan side for their determination and commitment to reaching the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations.
Despite Angola not being considered a football powerhouse on the continent, Peseiro noted their impressive performance in the AFCON tournament.
In a pre-match assessment, Peseiro highlighted the capabilities of the Angolan team, emphasizing their journey to the quarterfinals as a testament to their skill and hunger for success.
However, he asserted that his team, the Super Eagles of Nigeria, carries a greater hunger and determination to achieve their objectives in the upcoming quarterfinal clash.
“I want to play against a team that didn’t win the AFCON. It’s not a big name in Africa, but they are playing well. They are doing very well.
They showed capacity, not luck, but the capacity to reach the quarter-final,” said Peseiro.
He further emphasized that both teams desire victory in the match to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
Peseiro outlined the Super Eagles’ strategy, emphasizing the team’s commitment to maintaining a consistent and effective approach.
He stressed the importance of combining attacking prowess with a strong defensive organization, creating a balanced team effort.
As the Super Eagles face Angola in the quarterfinal, Peseiro’s comments reflect a focused and determined approach, setting the stage for an intense battle on the pitch.
