55 Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has revealed he won’t use a different formation for the team’s Round of 16 clash with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
The three-time African champions used a 3-4-3 formation in their last two games against hosts Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau.
The formation has been termed defensive by many especially after the Super Eagles scored just two goals in the two games.
Peseiro however said he is not willing to use a different formation for the game.
“I saw the statistics yesterday, we created the highest number of chances in the group stage,” Peseiro told a press conference on Friday.
“If we create chances, then why do we need change our style of play. Our team is playing well, we don’t need to change our strategy.
“What we need to do is start converting our chances. That’s what has been lacking for us.
“I think at times you can create less chances and score more goals. We hope things will improve for us in this aspect tomorrow.
“We want to score and win. It is important to defend well like we have been doing since that start of the competition.”
Saturday’s encounter will be played at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan.
