Former Nigerian international, Nduka Ugbade has shared a tactical view to Nigeria’s quarter final clash.

Nigeria face Angola on Friday in a winner takes all affair, for a semi final slot at the ongoing African Cup of Nations.

Speaking on Brila FM’s ‘The Big Interview’, Ugbade offered his game strategy.

“We have to move the ball as fast as we can, we must to move the ball at the top of the can,” he suggested. “Then our mental speed ​must be very high on the advance. In the midfield, we’re been compact.”

“If we are defending, we defend in mass. We attack with few men. So that once we score them first, they are forced to come out.”

“We have to defend very strong and do not allow these guys to counter. Senegal is the father of them all. If Senegal can be beaten and scored against, automatically, we can beat Angola.”

“They will mark. They have a lot of pressure, they have tremendous defensive pressure. I saw it in 2 or 3 matches that they played. They are very resilient, they are always marking.

“Once you lose the ball, they go on the offensive, no going back. Because that is what they want. They defend in their own box with more men.”

“Set pieces and corners must be forced upon them so that inside the 18 we are contesting for all the balls, we must contest for all the balls.”

“We can score all the goals; if we score 2 and they score 3 against us, then we are out of the competition.

“So the issue here is that strategically, we must plan technically, we must execute what we have as our strategy then we get them done to make sure they are dumped out of the competition for us to move to the next stage.”
