Why I’ll be excited if I’m a Nigerian – Peseiro

Super Eagles coach said the Mexico loss is his responsibility but Nigeria has so much quality 

Jose Peseiro said he sees a lot of quality in the Super Eagles and is excited about working with the players.

The coach who has handled the team for more than a week now said the players are good and should excite Nigerians.

He said what the team needs is preparation and organisation and it will be capable of doing well.

“It I am a Nigerian, I’ll be happy with the Super Eagles because they have good players. We have too much qualify in the team but all that needs to improve are organisation, good system, consistency.

“We need to improve all that but our national team has quality and there is room to improve a lot.”

The Portuguese coach said he accepts the blame for the Mexico defeat but expects a better display against Ecuador.

“Like I said earlier, in the first half against Mexico we didn’t play well and I’m responsible for that because I was the one who out out the team. Due to lack of enough time for practice we could not play well, we only had two trainings before the game against Mexico.

“In the second half we changed the system and we improved, showed good character, good quality only the result wasn’t good, no team wants to lose any match.

“For the game against Ecuador I want us to do well, I want us to do better than Mexico. Everybody knows Mexico are in eight position in the FIFA ranking and you have to play better against Mexico.”
