Peseiro Explains Why He Keeps Changing Super Eagles Centre-Back Pairing

Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has explained why he hasn’t played the same pair in centre defence for Nigeria since taking over as coach of the team, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.

Last weekend against Sao Tome and Principe, the Portuguese coach played the pair of Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey for the first time and they helped the team keep a clean sheet in a comfortable 6-0 win.

Prior to that game, only the pair of Semi Ajayi and Kenneth Omeruo have played at the heart of the defence of Super Eagles in back to back games.  A situation that led to question about the reason why it is always changing shortly after the win over Sao Tome and Principe.

This is the first time in a long while that there is a constant change in the Super Eagles in that key area of the team.

” We have players who I like a lot and play them based on several options. For this game Kenneth Omeruo is suspended and it’s a good time to try a new option with Calvin Bassey and Semi Ajayi. A lot of things keeps the defence changing but I love and rate all of them for any game I pick them”, the coach explained.
