He is a true professional and we appeal to Nigerians to be patient with the coach,” Amaju Pinnick told the official Super Eagles Youtube channel.

“We are building a good team, you can see a semblance of a very serious team,” Pinnick said.

“The team has a very good build-up from the goalkeeper to the defence line, to the midfield and the relationship between the midfield and attack.

“The only problem we have right now is scoring.
