Nigerian comedian Bovi has faulted Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro for Nigeria’s defeat against Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Bovi made the remarks following yesterday’s AFCON final between Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire in Abidjan.
Recall that Nigeria lost to Cote d’Ivoire yesterday in the final showpiece of the AFCON 2023, with the Elephants triumphing by 2 goals to 1 against Nigeria in Abidjan.
Bovi while reacting via his X handle, blamed coach Peseiro’s tactics for the three-time African champions’ defeat.
He faulted Peseiro’s strategy of relying on defense rather than attack, emphasizing that he would have still been unimpressed even if Nigeria had won.
Bovi tweeted “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.”
Many reactions has been trailing the outcome of yesterday’s final with many Nigerians showing their displeasure on the style of play put into use by the Portuguese Coach yesterday.
