“We also have to improve from the first match. It’s important for us to maintain our style and enjoy the game. We must also defend well and convert our chances.”
Peseiro also reflected on his side’s previous game against Equatorial Guinea and also said they must keep working hard.
“We created so many chances against Equatorial Guinea, but we must improve our finishing,”he added.
“Also, we need to take good decision, do well with final ball and be more composed in front of goal.
“They must take good decision inside and around the box. Most importantly we must manage the ball well and defend well too.”
