Peseiro said this during his pre-match conference on Thursday ahead of Nigeria’s quarter-final clash with Angola on Friday evening.
Jose Peseiro, the head coach of the Super Eagles, has cautioned that Angola's presence in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is not a result of luck, particularly in comparison to Ivory Coast.
Peseiro said this during his pre-match conference on Thursday ahead of Nigeria’s quarter-final clash with Angola on Friday evening.
“They [Angola] are not here by luck. They have shown a lot of capability to reach the quarter-finals,” the 63-year-old tactician said.
“Our team has scored 5 goals in 4 matches so far. We will attack with 11 and defend with 11 as well.”
Nigeria head to the game after beating Cameroon 2-0 in the round of 16.
Angola, on the other hand, defeated Namibia 3-0.
The kick-off time for the Nigeria vs Angola clash is 6 pm.
