The release of a video capturing Calvin Bassey, Ademola Lookman, and other players during a training session in Abu Dhabi has garnered attention on various social media platforms, according to reports from Talkfooty.com.ng.
Initial indications had suggested that the 2013 AFCON champions would opt for closed-door training sessions, limiting media access.
Contrary to expectations, the circulation of this viral video now provides valuable insights into how Coach Peseiro’s squad is preparing for the upcoming tournament, instilling hope in their dedicated training regimen.
Despite the early withdrawal of Wilfred Ndidi, the Portuguese tactician seems well-prepared to guide his 25-man squad, aiming for Nigeria’s fourth AFCON trophy with confidence.
The video shared offered viewers a sneak peek into the team’s preparations for the tournament, featuring notable figures like Fulham’s Bassey and Super Eagles’ captain, Ahmed Musa.
