Barely a month after the conclusion of the 2023 African Cup of Nations, the former coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles Jose Peseiro has opened up on why Super Eagles have a limited option, especially in the attack.
Former Al Ahly of Egypt coach made it clear that the absence of the Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface affected the team.
“I will say that Boniface would have made the difference without injury.
“He was very confident and can play comfortably in our two-man attacking style. He can also play on both sides of the strikers and that would have made him our invisible arc in the tournament.
“Our options to refine our style were limited in his absence”, he told Africafootunited.
Boniface got injured while Super Eagles camped in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates before the tournament started
