Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has revealed the reason for adopting a 3-4-3 formation for the side’s last two games at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Peseiro said it is important to have balance in their approach to games.
“I have the obligation to do what is right for my team, pick the best formation and how best we can win games,” he told reporters.
“The most important thing is for my players to believe in our strategy. They believe in what we are doing and have done well so far.
