The senior national team of Nigeria had their final training session ahead of tomorrow’s friendly gone against Mexico, OwnGoalNigeria.com has obtained exclusive details on how the session went.
New coach Jose Peseiro was in charge of the entire session barking out instructions to the players who were 20 in number following the arrival of Feyenoord goal scoring sensation Cyriel Dessers.
Dessers was made to initially train separately from the rest of the team to enable him shake off the stress of flying for the game. He was however added to the group where he excelled as expected.
Per our source, he was lively, quick and precise with his shooting when they had a shooting drill. He looked very much the player who finished as top scorer in the Europa Conference League with ten goals from ten goals.
However he isn’t expected to start against Mexico tomorrow but he is a sure bet to start against Ecuador on the 2nd of June and most likely the first two games of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Mauritius respectively.
