The head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has revealed what his team need to do in order to stem the tide of conceding early when they take on Sao Tome and Principe tomorrow in Morocco.
In the three games Nigeria have played under the guidance of the Portuguese, they have conceded first even in their first game of the qualifiers, they came from behind to beat Sierra Leone 2-1 in Abuja.
Peseiro speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game said he has been working with the team on their shape defensively hoping that it will bear fruit as he hates his team conceding goals not to even talking of conceding early into the game.
“I don’t want that. I don’t like to suffer goals, any time. We must work more. More time, more sessions, more meetings and we have been doing that. Working on how to defend as a group and also attack as a group. Several video sessions on defending set piece as well”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” We go into the game tomorrow with a different approach and mindset to defend better and also attack better. When we don’t concede we can play to our strength and joy”, he concluded.
