Jose Peseiro, super eagle’s head coach has disclosed that his major focus for the national team is to see that the players imbibe in them the winning mentality, apart from winning the 2024 Africa cup of nations
The super eagles, are to face Algeria team B in a test match, before the main match which is FIFA sanctioned takes place on Tuesday, September 27.
Speaking on the match, Jose Peseiro has said that his major focus is to win the next AFCON, and to achieve that, they’ll have to imbibe the winning mentality. Considering Algeria’s strength playing against them will show how much of that mentality they possess.
He further said, bringing in new players or introducing new styles and tactics isn’t the point, but utilising those players and tactics to win is the major aim.
“Algeria is a good team. Our goal is to win the next AFCON,” the 62-year-old tactician stated in an interview with NFF TV.
“For that to happen, you need to create a winning habit. In training and the game, you need to create the ability to win – that is the main point.
“Introducing new players into the team, new tactics or dynamics isn’t the key point. It is that you want to win.
“Every time we want to win. Every time. The Nigerian national team belongs to the league of the best national teams in Africa. So, we must create that winning habit.”
Both Nigeria and Algeria failed to secure the world cup ticket as they both lost to Ghana and Cameroon respectively.
