Fans at home and abroad are expecting great performances from the Nigerian national team, especially considering the attacking power of the Nigerian national team.
Super Eagles strikers such as Victor Osimhen, Victor Okoh Boniface and Paul Onuachu are enjoying good form with the club and Nigerians are confident that Peseiro will strengthen the club’s form and help the country win in Ivory Coast. I’m sure you’re hoping for great results. / p>
