The Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Jose Peseiro, has said he and his boys are aware that the quarter-final match against Angola will be tougher than the Cameroon game.

Peseiro said this while reacting to the 2-0 round of 16 win over the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote dIvoire.

Even though the Portuguese commended his players for the 2-0 win over Cameroon, he said the boys have been given a two-day off before work resumes again for the all-important quarter-final clash with Angola.

I think my players know that. We are playing with a fantastic spirit now but we must be focused on the target and train more before the next match, Peseiro said.

Reflecting on the individual performances of his players, Peseiro said Victor Osimhen did not score on Saturday but had a fantastic game, saying it is very difficult to stop the Napoli FC of Italy striker.

He (Osimhen) is a fantastic player for our team, we have very good players, he will win the ball, hold play until our players arrive, Peseiro said.

The Portuguese, however, revealed that it has not been easy for him to select his 11 players in every game.
