Popular comedian Bovi has blamed Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro for his team’s defeat against Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Nigeria lost 2-1 to the hosts, Cote d’Ivoire, on Sunday.
Reacting via his X handle, Bovi blamed coach Peseiro’s tactics for the three-time African champions’ defeat.
He faulted Peseiro’s strategy of relying on defense rather than attack, stressing that he would have still been pissed even if Nigeria had won.
Bovi wrote: “Blame the coach. We are a footballing nation of flare. Fluidity, through passes, dribbles, attack. Not all out defence. Even if we’d won, I would still be pissed. The style was evidently alien to the players.”
I think Nigerians are right to be displeased with the unfortunate circumstances that led to loss of the final match between Super Eagles and The Elephants. And then the coach, in my opinion, played a system, from the beginning of the tournament, that I think is not sustainable in the long run.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
