Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has declared that Francis Uzoho is still the best option among the goalkeepers available to him, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Speaking at the pre game presser ahead of the game against Lesotho in Uyo, the coach was asked about the goalkeepers crisis in the team with his current first choice Francis Uzoho guilty of unforced errors.
He defended him and said despite the presence of others like Maduka Okoye, Olorunleke Ojo, Amas Obasogie and Adebayo Adeleye, the Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper still remains the first choice.
“Uzoho is our goalkeeper, Okoye, Ojo, Amas and Adeleye are our goalkeepers. I am not stupid, I want to play the best players, but it is my confidence to play Uzoho as the number one”, the coach said.
His statement was backed by the stand-in captain of the team Kenneth Omeruo, who said Uzoho still remains the best in the team and has the support of the team to do well. “Uzoho is the best goalkeeper in the team and we are behind him”, he said.
