Former Nigerian goalkeeper, Andrew Aikhoumogbe has said the Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro will build a formidable team for Nigeria if he utilizes the talent at his disposal properly.
Recall that, the Portuguese tactician has come under heavy criticisms after the team lost 1-0 to Guinea-Bissau in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Despite the victory of super eagles in the reverse fixture, some fans are still skeptical about Peseiro’s technical ability to improve the Super Eagles.
Reacting to this development, Aikhoumogbe from his Cairo base in Egypt, stated that the transition of play in the team is gradually improving, urging Peseiro to utilize the array of talent at his disposal if he must build a formidable Super Eagles.
According to him, “The Super Eagles may have suffered some defeats in some of the games that was played under Peseiro, most recently against Guinea-Bissau but then, you shouldn’t expect the team to be at their best at this point in time.
” Yes, Nigerians always expect their team to win and when results are not forthcoming the coach takes the blame.
“I am still optimistic that Peseiro will build a formidable Super Eagles regardless of what has happened. Besides, the transition of play in the team has improves and we can observe that the team has been playing good football.”
