A winner of the Africa Cup of Nations with the senior national team of Nigeria Efe Ambrose says the performance of the Super Eagles against Equatorial Guinea was their best display since the appointment of Jose Peseiro, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria had to come from behind to draw 1-1 in their first game of the Africa Cup of Nations. A result which was meant with disappointment back home with many unhappy that they failed to get a win.
That sentiments isn’t shared by Efe Ambrose, who said he has seen a few of the games they have played under Peseiro and the performance against Equatorial Guinea stands out for him.
” They did play badly? No I don’t think so because chances creation is key in games like this and they had a lot of them. It was unfortunate that they fell behind but look at it that if one of the seven clear cut chances had gone their way, they would have conveniently picked up all three points”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” You don’t bother much when your team create chances, it is when they are not creating that you should be worried. On another day Osimhen would have grabbed a hattrick like he did in the games against Sao Tome and Principe, it wasn’t just his day and if at all blaming is allowed then he should take the stick, but this is football where you win as a team and you lose as team” , he concluded.
