Peseiro, however, said that the Eagles’ first-half performance was subpar when speaking to NFF TV after the match.
Super Eagles manager, Jose Peseiro has reacted following the woeful performance of the Super Eagles yesterday against Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Recall that Nigeria lost by four goals to Portugal in the friendly match on Thursday.
However, the Super Eagles missed a penalty that should have made it 2-1, but Emmanuel Dennis failed to convert.
Portugal ended up beating Nigeria 4-0.
Peseiro while reacting to the loss, said that the Eagles’ first-half performance was subpar when speaking to NFF TV .
“Losing 4-0 was too much, we didn’t start well in the first half we didn’t show good organisation and we didn’t pressure the opponent. It’s true the opponent has too much quality but like I said the first half was not good but the second half was much better.
“I believe in the second half we showed we can so better, we missed a penalty and conceded two more goals. We must improve because we want to win the next AFCON,” he said.
Portugal played their last exhibition match against the Super eagles before travelling to Qatar for the World Cup.
