The manager of the Nigeria national team, José Peseiro, stated during the pre-match press conference against the Ivory Coast Elephants on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, that his players are accustomed to playing high-stakes matches.
Mr. Peseiro acknowledged that Ivory Coast has a good team and a good coach. However, he is confident that his team can overcome Séko Fofana and his teammates by replicating the same feats they achieved against Equatorial Guinea, where they drew 1-1.
“If we create the same opportunities against Ivory Coast and are effective, we will win the match. (…) We must not change; we must maintain our momentum,” he emphasized.
