Head Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Jose Peseiro has cautioned his players ahead of their match against the South African side in the 2023 AFCON tournament.
The Super Eagles will be facing the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a semi-final fixture at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday.
Despite the three-time champions impressing football fans with their intelligent display in Cote d’Ivoire, Peseiro claims it is important for the players to give more than 100 hundred percent on the pitch when they face the South Africans.
“We’re doing a good job. Good organisation and good commitment, we play like a team together,” the Portuguese coach told a press conference in Bouake on Tuesday., February 6.
“It will be a tough match against a good national team.
“We want to beat South Africa to reach the final. For that we have to play a high-level match against a South African team who eliminated Morocco, who did a fantastic World Cup.
“We must play 100% or more to beat a very good team.”
“My belief is that we can win this competition,”he added.
“But they also want to win AFCON, just like us.”
