I don't have anything against him but the coach who has seen him close up in training over the last 18 months selected Ajayi, Ekong, Bassey and Omeruo above him for a reason.
I'm not disputing your statement. I was just wondering why Peseiro selected players (Awaziem is not the only one) that he could not trustLolly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 10:05 amI don't have anything against him but the coach who has seen him close up in training over the last 18 months selected Ajayi, Ekong, Bassey and Omeruo above him for a reason.
He was selected as a backup central defender and he is righty ranked number 5 out of 5. That is where he belongs.
He selected the best out of the lot (Musa is an exception). Sometimes reserves don't get games when you don't need them on the pitch.aruako1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 12:24 pmI'm not disputing your statement.

It doesn’t explain why our starters had the highest individual minutes played of all the semi finalists. Most teams in tournaments have better squad utilisationLolly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 12:59 pmHe selected the best out of the lot (Musa is an exception).

Now you are being dishonest. He had 1 year to build a team on merit and refused. He literally waited until December to get Nwabali and I am sure you'd have said "he selected the best out of the lot". if Nwabali was never invited and Uzoho was the number 1Lolly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 12:59 pmHe selected the best out of the lot (Musa is an exception).

We noticed the Nigerian players were tired in the first half. They were not at their
usual best.
I told my players during the half-time break that we must increase the intensity of our game and it worked out well
for us.

Absolutely spot-on fresh legs and more energy was needed players like Raphael Onyedika Alhassan Yusuf Frank Onyeka Awaziem William Troost Kenneth Omeruo if he introduced early after William Troost goal that would changed the dynamic of the game 4 sure,maceo4 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 5:04 pmCIV coach says that’s why they wonmaceo4 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 2:13 pmYeaaaaap…aruako1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:19 pmIt doesn’t explain why our starters had the highest individual minutes played of all the semi finalists.

Africa did it but he didn't heed the warning. CIV took SA's playbook with Adingra and Aina having a bad day at the office. Aina was getting caught out up field by a player that didn't worry much about defending bcos we sat back and invited the pressure. Leading up to 2nd goal they threw men forward, man to man 5 guys occupying all of our back 5, with crosses coming in, it was only a matter of time, all frustratingly happened in slow motion.

Nice analysis also, the mid-field had too many gaping holes. Our player's spacings were lazily and frustratingly standing 13 to 20 ft apart {instead of a compact 7- 10 ft apart}, which provided the Ivorians ample time to move into passing lanes to intercept our passes. Already it was bad enough that many of our passes where short
Psychologically, our boys looked lethargic, confused and even scared in many instances as though they were all under a spell. When the equalizer came, our "RIGID" Peseiro coulda made some changes after about 5-10 mins of our same old lethargic tempo. 50-50 aerial balls and on the pitch rolling balls were lost due to unexplained distractions
The most painful observation here is that their goal keeper was hardly never tested, maybe Peseiro and our boys thought a 1-1 draw {up until that disastrous 80 minute} could be protected into the penalty shoot outs, for a defeat with their poor goal keeper. But penalties are no guarantees {as we saw with South Africa} AND as a rewind back, a 1 goal lead is too slim a margin to be playing a lazy bail out defensive game
We totally played down to the competition but shoulda known better that even against a weak opponent like CIV, there were atleast 3 motivating sparks for them {which our coach shoulda have psychologically been wary of}... these are as follows.. ..
1. We beat them earlier at the rounds stages.. thus, they had revenge & grudge on their minds
2. They were playing at home in front of their wholesome support of fans
3. They are playing in the finals, the luck that pushed them to that point is a momentum that was ever increasing up to their last game.
The whole thing still hurts bcos i still can't find answers as to how a team can play its worst game of its tournament in the very finals of that same tournament, except ofcourse if they were indeed "Juju-fied" or "bewitched"

Peserio actually said his team was the underdog going into the final. This to a team you beat in the group stage. The psychological, and tactical preparation of the coach going into the final was poor, and it rubbed unto the players. Sit back in a goddamn final, and give up 63% possession. It is expected that CIV would be highly motivated as they were playing a final match at home, but to concede that much possession? It essentially became a training match for CIV. Peserio only woke up after Nigeria conceded the 2nd goal.
I guess the final summed up his approach for the entire tournament. Sit back, and hit on the counter. No intentional plans on the way forward.
