“If we want to win the AFCON we must be ready to face any team. Cote d’Ivoire , Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau are good teams. If we want to win the AFCON, we have to win the group,” Peseiro told the Press.

“It is not going to be easy because in a tournament anything can happen . You need to put a lot things in place. You need focus in a short tournament like this.

“We want to win this group and qualify for the next phase.But first we have to play Lesotho and Zimbabwe. We must be at the next World Cup.”
