Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro has said one goal will be enough to seal victory against Cameroon in today’s round of 16 clash at the Stade Felix Houphouet Boigny.
The Portuguese tactician said: “It’s going to be a tough game, off course. It’s a game between two big teams in Africa. Our Objective in the game is to play very well and win the game.”
He added: “They have a mission and we have a mission as well and our mission is to win and we are here to win. The tournament is short and this is knockout stages, if you don’t win, you go home. We have a team and we’ve been working together as a team and what is important at this stage is to win. We keep our goal which is to win. We don’t want to concede goal and at the same time we want to enjoy the game. We want to score at least one goal and ensure that we didn’t concede goal in the game. With that, we will beat Cameroon.”
Peseiro also revealed that the team has studied the video of their opponent ahead of the game.
“We’ve played the video of our opponents to our players and we know their good and the bad sides. I know that Cameroon would have done that to their players as well. As I said, if we score at least one goal and close the game, we will win.”
Super Eagles have not been clinical in front of goal, scoring two goals with one own goal in three matches, but despite the team’s lack of goals, Peseiro stated that he won’t change his tactics.
“I saw a statistic that showed that we created more scoring chances than other teams. So, we can’t change our tactic when we are creating more opportunities. It’s only when we don’t create chances that we can change tactics,” Peseiro added.
