Former Nigerian international, Daniel Akpeyi, has identified the area Super Eagles need to improve ahead of their Round of 16 tie with Mozambique on Monday.
The Super Eagles won all their group stage fixtures at the AFCON as they top Group C with 9 points.
But they failed to keep a clean sheet as they conceded four goals from the three matches against Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda.
However, speaking on SuperSport, Akpeyi suggested that Eric Chelle’s side needs to work on their defence to make sure they stop conceding goals going forward.
“Unfortunately, it is something that they need to keep working on, because we can see the player there running into the pocket and getting the ball from there,” the former Super Eagles goalkeeper said.
It makes it difficult, so is everyone sleeping at the back? They’ve to observe when a player is making a run into that space.
“This keeps recurring every now and then. I think Eric Chelle will go back to the drawing board and see how he can work on this team to make sure we don’t concede goals.”
