AFCON: Relax, We Are Keeping Our Goals For Next Round – Peseiro To Fans

Super Eagles Coach, Jose Peseiro, has told fans to relax over the team’s not-too-sharp attack, noting that the team was keeping the goals for the next round of the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d’Ivoire.

Peseiro said this on Monday in Abidjan during his post-match news conference after a scrappy 1-0 win over Guinea Bissau in the last group A match.

The Super Eagles coach who said he was happy with the 1-0 win, congratulated Equatorial Guinea for topping the table.

He noted that his team wasted many scoring chances during the match.

According to the coach, the team were keeping the goals for the next stage of the competition.

He said, “Today, we played very good football but we missed scoring chances which is not good for us.

“Our striker, Victor Osimhen, was not at his best but I’m happy we are through to the next stage.

“I want to congratulate Equatorial Guinea for leading the group with seven points after scoring many goals. I also congratulate my team for making it to the next round.

“Today’s match was a tough one; we created four opportunities but we couldn’t convert them. But I’m still happy we progressed to the next stage.

“I believe we kept our goals for the next round; we will definitely work on our finishing ahead of our next match.

“For the next match, if you score goals you proceed to the next round.”
