Jose Peseiro raises challenge flag: “Angola is not a major team”

Jose Peseiro, the coach of the Nigerian national football team, asserts that Angola, their upcoming opponent in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, is not a major team.

Nigeria faces Angola in the round of eight, and the match is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, at 7:00 PM Cairo time.

Angola eliminated Namibia in the round of 16, while Nigeria triumphed over Cameroon in the same stage.

Peseiro commented ahead of the anticipated match, saying, “It’s a quarter-final match, and both teams aim to reach the semi-finals.

It will undoubtedly be a tough game.”

He added, “We will do our utmost to try to overcome this great team, even if it may not seem that way.”

Peseiro claimed, “Angola is not a prominent name in the African continent, but they play exceptionally well.

It should be noted that they did not come here by luck; they have shown significant quality to reach the quarter-finals.”
