Man explains why Nigeria lost to Morocco
@lilknowsball explained in a video why the Nigerian team lost, after initially bragging that he knew the exact reasons for the Super Eagles' defeat.
He mentioned home advantage and pressure, as well as the lack of chances for Osimhen and Lookman to score goals.
He said in the TikTok video:
"I know the exact reason Nigeria lost to Morocco. The problem I saw: once it hit the 65th minute, once it hit the 70th minute, once it's about 20 minutes to go in the game, Nigeria flip the switch. They didn't hit their next gear.
"If I'm the coach, I'm telling the team: if this goes to penalties, we do not have a good chance. We need to win this in regulation. We need to win this in 90 minutes, and if not, we need to win in 120 minutes."
Speaking about the home defence, which Morocco had as an advantage, he shared:
"Morocco is playing in Morocco. Of course they had no problems going to penalties. The entire country is behind them; they're literally on home soil, the entire country is on their side. They have the most home field advantage.
"Osimhen didn't get any chance. Lookman didn't get any chance. Nigeria did exactly what they needed to do to shut them out, but if you don't score, you don't win, and you saw that."

He also spoke about the pressure each player of the Nigerian team must have faced during the penalty shootout.
He added:
"The entire stadium is red, the entire stadium was Moroccan fans. The entire pressure you have to take to play those penalties, you're at a disadvantage.
"The coaching never changed. They never changed the system. The coach was supposed to come out and say, if it hits this minute, we switch gears, we're going to this tactics.
"They look like they're playing for penalties, and in the end, that's why they lost."
