Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has sent a message to underperforming players of the senior national team of Nigeria after their recently friendly games in Portugal, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
In preparation for the start of the qualifiers for the 2026 world cup, the team played two test games against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique respectively. The first game ended in a 2-2 draw, they made amends to win the second game 3-2 but it left the coach unhappy.
Aside from back to back errors by goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, the coach also lamented the fact that the team were wasteful in front of goal, and also didn’t show enough concentration when they were 3-1 up against ten man Mozambique.
He has now taken to his social media handle on X to sound a note of warning as he gets set to name his squad for the November round of game. His statement sounds like a message to players to be at their best when they represent the country.
“After another period of training and matches, with the team and staff united, we have reinforced various aspects and identified mistakes to be corrected. The standard for anyone representing the Super Eagles must always be the highest”, he wrote on X.
