Super Eagles manager Jose Peseiro has called for a better performance from the team ahead of their match against Ecuador.
The Portuguese lost is first game in charge of the Nigerian team to Mexico with a 2-1 defeat.
After taking the blame for the defeat against Mexico, Peseiro also blame lack of enough training session with the team as part of the problem.
“Like I said earlier, in the first half against Mexico we didn’t play well and I’m responsible for that because I was the one who out out the team. Due to lack of enough time for practice we could not play well, we only had two trainings before the game against Mexico.
“In the second half we changed the system and we improved, showed good character, good quality only the result wasn’t good, no team wants to lose any match.
“For the game against Ecuador I want us to do well, I want us to do better than Mexico. Everybody knows Mexico are in eight position in the FIFA ranking and you have to play better against Mexico.”
Peseiro further stated that the Super Eagles possesses a good squad with lots of quality players in it.
He added that they will need to improve the organization, good system and also be consistent in how they play.
‘If I am a Nigerian I will be happy with the Super Eagles because they have good players. We have too much quality in the team but all that needs to improve are organisation, good system, consistency.
“We need to improve all that but our national team has quality and there is room to improve a lot.”
