Per reports exclusively gathered by OwnGoalNigeria.com editorial team, the new coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro will stick to 3-5-2 formation when they take on Ecuador in an international friendly game in the United States of America.
The game will be played today in the US but in the early hours of tomorrow in Nigeria just like it was when they played Mexico in their first friendly game which ended 2-1 in favour of El Tri. It appears the Nigerian team will also use same formation.
Yesterday’s training which happens to be the last session before the game gave us a better hint as the coach lined up the players in same way they started the game against Mexico, despite the fact that they played better in the second half when the formation was switched to 4-4-2.
Peseiro believe with the players in the team at the moment they are more suited to playing with three at the back when on the offensive and five at the back when they defend.
Although it didn’t work as planned in his first game in charge, he is adamant that it was due to less practice session with the players and after spending more days in camp, he is optimistic that the team will interpret the tactics better than they did against Mexico.
