Even past coaches experienced criticism from many quarters before their success! The Super Eagles doesn't really need Paserio to succeed. African football is not so much about coaching impetus. I have addressed that in my earlier posts!
Super eagles doesn't need Peseiro to succeed?pls am not getting you

If you know super eagles of Nigeria history, you will realize that, they perform better when underestimated by fans. For example, prior to Nigeria vs Ivory Coast in 2013, NFF had already prepared keshi sack letter and our players return ticket. We won that tournament

The fans also underestimated the teams that won 1980 and 1994 Afcon abi.

In the history of Afcon,Nigeria is always amongst the teams to beat except 1990 and 2013 where fans are not sure but Westerhoff and Keshi knew what they wanted but can we say the same on Peseiro.

Nigeria fans were so sure of US 94 team and also France 98 team....fans didn't rated 2002 and 2010 WC teams fans and it came to pass...2014 it was 50/50 cuz some fans are skeptical of the team but they made it to second round.....2018,fans are not expecting much.

So I don't believe in fans underestimating eagles will lead to better outing.

This is the first time in a long while I won't be hoping for anything from the super Eagle going into an Afcon tournament, like I don't even care. The feeling is rare.

I just hope the team will surprise Us all

I don't even agree with the notion that fans are underestimating the team. The team has been largely unconvincing under Peseiro, and nothing seems to be getting better.
I remember Randy Waldrum was not liked by most fans before the women's World Cup, and rightly so, because the man was doing all sorts of nonsense experiments with the team. But prior to the World Cup, his team started to get better, and he was getting his tactics and selection right. That improvement extended to the World Cup.
But with Peseiro, I can't see any sign of improvement yet.
I pray I'm wrong, though.

fans are complaining about our poor friendly match record under peseiro and someone is showing past record of how Nigeria lost their first match in Afcon and went on to perform miracle.

Bro, I am not South American and can’t speak for them. But, ask yourself if you have ever seen Lionel Messi or Cristiano playing street football in Lisbon or Buenos A years after becoming a professional? Or even tweeting unnecessarily and doing skits? If our players want to become revered they must realize that talent/hard work isn’t enough and they must realize that Professionalism, seriousness, dedication is equally as vital as talent if they want to have a career like Cristiano. Ronaldo has shown footballers the blueprint/epitome of longevity and success and it’s up to us to do it
just succinct

Get well soon boni. I have informed our players to desist and stay away from a certain crowd when they’re ascending career wise but they don’t listen. Why would you even be playing in a low quality turf alongside your childhood friends with impunity. Do you realize the danger and implications of such? I hope that, this is a lesson to our upcoming superstars on the importance of professionalism, discipline and seriousness. Enough is enough. Get well soon boniface

So we should keep underestimating them deliberately before a match/ competition just for them to do well? Then what's the essence of this thread or being a Super Eagles fan?

he was injured while training in Dubai. it was osimhen that was playing in low quality turf with his friends and that was way before the season started. I hope your leg did not break seeing as you have made quite a long jump into conclusion.

Every one of them claiming to have watched players not playing in the top 5 leagues, then you ask yourself, where are the watching these guys?
I have DStv both in my home and my office and DStv doesn't shows league matches except it's from EPL, La liga, Serial A, and the choose important matches in other top countries(mostly Eredivisie) to show on ESPN. This season, DStv has never showed Royal Antwerp match, so where are these guys watching players like Ejuke in a 90min matches when it's not the UCL, EUL or the ECL?

Funny enough, the league has been on winter break since 23rd Dec. That was the last game day for Royal Antwerp. So my thinking is that he lives in the future.

From the time of Aboubacar Titi Camara. Guinea has never been a push over. I heard Ps saying that his MF was over ran. This is just the beginning. Pls can someone just tell the man that not only will his MF be over ran in the tourney but they will also be fatigued and God forbid they get injured in the process.
