“I think it’s important to evaluate the evolutionary trends of national teams in this competition. It’s a bigger competition for national teams. I can’t compare the organisation of the national teams, some teams have more time to prepare than other teams.
“But if you speak about the quality of the players, matches. As the coach of a national team, the Super Eagles, I can say that there are many qualities. Any national team can bring together the best players.”
Peseiro, who took charge of the Super Eagles in May, has further stated how the Atlas Lions are the best African team at the tournament.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
