Former Nigeria international, Ifeanyi Udeze, has faulted Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro, for starting Samuel Chukwueze in Sunday’s AFCON final.
It was his second start in the tournament unfortunately, he had a game to forget and had to go off for Simon early in the second half.
Despite taking the lead through captain William Troost-Ekong, the Ivorians fought back to win 2-1 and claim their third AFCON title.
“Starting Samuel Chukwueze against Côte d’Ivoire was a mistake,” Udeze said on Brila FM.
“You don’t change a winning team, the Ivory Coast coach made use of the same formation from the semi-final, so I don’t know why Peseiro decided to change his.”
The former left-back went on to praise the Eagles for reaching the final.
He added: ”Let’s appreciate the Eagles because they did their best after all one team must win and one team must lose.“
