Super Eagles’ Coach, Jose Peseiro, has described the senior national team as work in progress, saying the team’s fighting spirit will place it above peers in the near future.
Speaking on Nigeria’s hard-fought 3-2 victory over Sierra Leone in Liberia on Sunday, Peseiro said the team’s fighting spirit came to the fore when it seemed that the Leone Stars would upset the Eagles in the game played on an ‘unfriendly pitch.’
“We are still working on the team and by the end of the exercise, hopefully, before the Africa Cup of Nations, people will start seeing the best of the team,” he said.
Peseiro commended his players for their fighting spirit, as they maintained a two-point gap to Guinea-Bissau at the top of the group.
