AFCON 2023: 3 Tactical changes Peseiro made to ensure victory against Angola

Jose Peseiro implemented some tactical changes to help Nigeria defeat Angola in the AFCON 2023 quarter-final.

Jose Peseiro's decision to deploy five defenders proved instrumental in stifling Angola's attacking capabilities during the match.

The Angolans found themselves virtually stranded, unable to create goal-scoring opportunities, mostly thanks to Peseiro's decision to transition to a back three, featuring defenders like Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey.

The relentless and hardworking efforts of midfielders Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka played a crucial role in establishing dominance in the midfield, and by pressuring Angola and winning key battles in the center of the park, The Super Eagles gained a physical and mental advantage.

The Super Eagles demonstrated their potential on the counter-attack, showcasing the combination of Osimhen's work rate, Lookman and Lookman's speed. 

 This effective breakaway strategy helped Nigeria secure victory against the Palancas Negras and could prove valuable in upcoming matches."
