He Fights For Us- Peseiro Highlights Importance Of Goal Shy Super Eagles Star At AFCON

The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has leaped to the defence of Victor Osimhen ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations final game against the host Cote d’Ivoire, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.

Osimhen was largely expected to carry the goal scoring burden of the team at the tournament, but he has just one goal and one assist so far, although he has won two vital penalties for the team in key games.

Peseiro was asked about his goal drought and he said it isn’t a problem to the team as he gives them much more than goals, citing the fact that he carries himself like every member of the team and not like that star of the team.

“If you watch the matches, he fights for us, he doesn’t play like a star, works and defends.
“He attacks, fight the opponents, he opens spaces for us. He does maximum sacrifice for the team”, Peseiro said about the current Africa footballer of the year.

“He does the best everyday because he knows he’s an important player, for that he suffers many fouls, pressure and stress but he knows our team, captains, everybody help him. The match is collective, no one can win alone. No one can do everything alone. He knows that, we know that, for that we created a collective team to fight together.”
