More from manager Jose Peseiro’s remarks to the media following Nigeria’s win: “Our football sometimes is incredible. We play well. Today we created less but we scored two goals.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Asked whether Nigeria’s level might drop against a smaller side like Angola after appearing to play better against bigger nations, he responded: \u201cSee, I want to just win every game. I don\u2019t know what Nigerians think about names in football but if we are to defeat Angola, we must play like today.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
