''My aim is to give my best, like what I always try to do. You know, If I could give my best, there is not much more than to give my best and work hard. And to keep trying. Try to control what I can control.''
Peseiro responds to Nigerian fans
Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Jose Peseiro who is the gaffer of the Super Eagles finally responded to angry Nigerian football fans who want captain Ahmed Musa to be kicked out of the Nigerian national senior men's team.
The former Leicester City forward is currently in camp in Lagios with his teammates who are preparing for the African Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone.
Musa has so far recorded his name in the history books of Nigerian football as he is Super Eagles' highest goalscorer in the World Cup and also has the highest number of appearances for the three-time African champions.
Fans are not happy with Musa's inclusion in the match against Sierra Leone with many claiming that there are better players who should have been given the chance.
