Jose Peseiro reveals goalscoring plans ahead of Cameroon clash



Jose Peseiro took over the helm of affairs with the Super Eagles in May 2022 and has overseen eighteen games with the team, winning eight.

Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has outlined his team’s goalscoring plans ahead of their AFCON 2023 round of sixteen clash against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Soccernet.ng reports.

Peseiro, 63, took the Nigerian football team to second place in the Group A standings, bagging seven points from three games, and defeating the host, Ivory Coast on home turf.

The Super Eagles have also been solid at the back, keeping two clean sheets from three games, but have been wasteful in front of goal, scoring just one from open play, and three in total.

Speaking in his pre-match presser ahead of Nigeria’s clash against Cameroon, Peseiro revealed that his plan for the team to score more goals is for them to play as a team.

“Play together, play like a team, and the most important thing is the result, to win the game. This tournament is a short one and we need to be decisive in specific positions,” the former Porto manager revealed.

Peseiro revealed his team’s duty, focusing on the need to be compact in defence and to score at least a goal.

“That’s why I prefer to keep things tight at the back and at the same time we want to play offensive football. Tomorrow, we want to keep a clean sheet and score at least one. Then maybe we could get more,” the Portuguese coach added.

Nigeria will play against Cameroon at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Ivory Coast by 9:00 PM W.A.T.

I'm pleased that our coach recognizes the apparent issue affecting our goal scoring efforts. It's not rocket science! Once the forward players collectively commit to reducing selfishness in the final third, we'll begin to witness an improvement in our goal tally.

When we talk about the 1994 eagles, do we ommit players? All of them are etched in history. So I am not sure what the players think they accomplish with the selfishness.

If the team wins, they all win.

As far as club ambitions go, clubs like team players. They value important contributions such as assists.

No club scouts players based on wasted opportunities in the box.

Selfishness helps absolutely nobody, not even themselves. The main striker has to be a little more selfish as the nature of the job requires the player to bank on himself, but even that is within limits. In obvious cases, even the main striker must defer responsibility.

As for the other players they must always defer responsibility where the opportunity looks better elsewhere. Though even that is within reason. We cannot have a hot potato situation, which funnily enough sometimes transpires.

The short of it would be to use common sense.

That's the essence of it. It may appear straightforward, doesn't it? However, putting it into action is a more formidable task, particularly when dealing with the selfish tendencies of our forward players.

Me likes the plan . Keep a clean sheet and score at least 1 goal. Thats a good way to say absolutely nothing! Pesseiro might be much smarter than we give him credit for. That's a win win plan.

What Peseiro needs to work on with the boys is to

Practice NONSTOP

3 on 2's and 2 on 1's

These type of counter attack breaks we have been PISS POOR at.

And this goes well beyond the Pesseiro era.

We become masters at this and we win most games by 3 or 4 goals.

It is inexcusable to be missing so many of these chances.

We are also very Bad with Corner Kicks and Free Kicks.
We get enough to at least score one.
We should also get a few with Cameroon. But will we be able to convert any ?

This is one of the areas Gernot Rohr was unappreciated for. Back then stats like 5 shots on target and 4 goals were not uncommon. Against Argentina in the friendly, Iceland, Cameroon (4-0), Lesotho etc.

could you provide evidence of this? As in, could you list the number of game Nigeria scored more than 2 goals under ****? Thanks!
