Bwala Points Finger At Tactics For Super Eagles’ Defeat

Daniel Bwala, a former aide to Atiku Abubakar, sheds light on the Super Eagles’ heartbreaking loss in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Ivory Coast, attributing it to strategic missteps.

Despite the pulsating performance, Bwala suggests that the Nigerian team faltered due to a deviation from their winning formula. He criticizes coach Jose Peseiro for abandoning the team’s trademark free-flowing and attacking style in favor of a defensive approach.

In a candid analysis shared via his official X handle, Bwala highlights the importance of consistency and adherence to successful tactics. He argues that the decision to switch strategies ultimately cost the Super Eagles the trophy.

While acknowledging the team’s commendable efforts throughout the tournament, Bwala stresses the need to learn from this defeat and stay true to the strengths that got them to the final in the first place.

He concludes with a message of encouragement, stating, “Super Eagles, you did well throughout the tournament… If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.
