“I am very emotional now, I feel very pained, I’m not going to lie to you. When I was coming I was told to cheer them up,” Pinnick told Super Eagles TV ahead of Nigeria’s AFCON qualifier return leg tie against Sierra Leone on Tuesday.
“No, I’m not going to cheer you up, I can’t cheer up and remain pained, let us suffer the emotions together. I can’t cheer anybody up, not anymore.
“I have told you, and I mean it, if you go I’m going to be sitting with your coach, there are some things we are not going to accept any more.
