Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has ranked Morocco as Africa’s biggest surprise team at the ongoing 2022 World cup in Qatar.
The Portuguese tactician who is currently in Qatar spoke on his observation about the teams he has monitored so far in an interview with the NFF TV on Friday.
Speaking on the performance of the African teams in Qatar, the Portuguese tactician said, “I think Ghana, Cameroon, and Tunisia achieved good results but lacked the consistency to advance to the round of 16.
“Cameroon played a fantastic match against Serbia and they beat Brazil, Ghana also defeated South Korea.
Senegal had a great performance in the group stage, but the big surprise at this year’s World Cup are Morocco. They are a well-organised team and conceded fewer goals. Only three teams in Africa have reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup; Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Morocco make the fourth team.
“They showed qualities and they are the best African team in Qatar.”
The Atlas Lions will play Portugal in the quarter-finals on Saturday at the Al Thumama Stadium.
