Super Eagles Manager Looks to Divine Intervention for AFCON Redemption Jose Peseiro, the manager of the Super Eagles,
acknowledges the need for divine intervention as Nigeria faces a challenging match against AFCON 2023 host Ivory Coast.
Following a disappointing 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea, Peseiro expresses concern about the team’s performance and emphasizes the upcoming crucial Group A clash against the formidable host.
The start of Nigeria’s AFCON 2023 campaign was shaky, marked by a draw against Equatorial Guinea, where they conceded an early goal.
Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen’s effective collaboration secured a draw against the less illustrious opponents.
After the match, a somber Peseiro turns to spirituality, stating, “I am sad, the players are also sad, but God gives, and God takes.”
He emphasizes that the Super Eagles’ fate is now in the hands of God, expressing hope for divine assistance in the upcoming game against Ivory Coast.
Nigeria and Ivory Coast will renew their rivalry in a crucial clash, with the Elephants aiming to secure a spot in the knockout stage after their victory against Guinea-Bissau.
Peseiro’s Super Eagles, on the other hand, seek a much-needed win to revive their AFCON 2023 aspirations against the formidable host.
