65 Super head coach, Jose Peseiro has revealed how he masterminded the side’s victory against the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire.
Peseiro’s men claimed an impressive 1-0 win against the hosts at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium on Thursday night.
The Super Eagles put up a solid display against Jean -Louis Gasset’s men, who were restricted to few chances in the game.
The Portuguese explained that he mapped out the strategy for the game during his team’s training tour in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
“I started thinking about how to approach this game when we were in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
“Cote d’Ivoire is a strong team with good players, so we need to close down the space and defend very well.
“We know we have to work hard and not allow them play their football. The players did well to stick to our plan in the game.”
The Super Eagles will take on the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau in their final group game at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan next week Monday.
