AFCON 2023: Peseiro Responds To Criticism over Super Eagles’ Tactics
Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has replied criticisms against the team’s tactical approach at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
The three-time champions played a 4-3-3 formation in their first game against Equatorial Guinea.
Peseiro however chose a 3-4-3 formation for the games against Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau.
Fans and pundits have expressed concern about the team’s lack of goals.
Peseiro’s side has scored three goals in three games in the competition.
Meanwhile, the coach said he has done what he believes to be right for his team.
“I have the obligation to do what is right for my team, pick the best formation and how best we can win games,” he told reporters.
“The most important thing is for my players to believe in our strategy. They believe in what we are doing and have done well so far.
“If you remember at the last AFCON, Senegal didn’t score too many goals in the group stage.
“We are not scoring too many goals but we are winning. I prefer to continue like this and reach the final.”
The Super Eagles will face eternal rivals Cameroon in the Round of 16 on Saturday.
