Peseiro told NFF TV:

“It was a good game, the camping showed the quality of our players and their collective effort. It was a hard match, Algeria is a good team. Our players try to do what I ask them to do in training, It is possible you lose in football, I’m sad we lost. I don’t like to lose matches, but I am very happy with the performance of my players. They did well in the game.”

Peseiro, however, thinks that in future games, his team will need to strengthen their offensive play. He said:

“We didn’t do well in attack at times, I think we can do better. We can improve our game generally,” added the former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach. We do well defensively but we can do more offensively and control the ball more,”
