Head Coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Jose Peseiro has suggested how his team can get to the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, (AFCON).
Peseiro outlined two things Super Eagles players need to do to ensure that they defeat whichever country they face in the semi-finals of the tournament in Ivory Coast.
He stated via Twitter (X) on Saturday night that the team must keep their feet on the ground and stay focused to sail through to the AFCON final.
“Our players were once again extraordinary. Many congratulations. We are in the semi-finals. Keep our feet on the ground; stay focused to conquer our place in the final,” the Portuguese tweeted.
Nigeria qualified for the semi-final on Friday after beating Angola. Peseiro’s men will face the winner between South Africa and Cape Verde in the last four on Wednesday.
