The 25-year-old midfielder will hope to win his fourth cap for the Super Eagles when they take on the South American giants<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u00a0midfielder Anderson Esiti has promised to work hard in order to help the Super Eagles triumph over\u00a0Brazil.<\/p>\n

The three-time African champions will slug it out with the South Americans in an international friendly in Singapore on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0PAOK<\/a>\u00a0midfielder, who is hoping for his fourth appearance for the Super Eagles since making his debut in 2015, has vowed to give his best if given the chance to play against the Selecao.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m giving the opportunity to play, I\u2019ll give my best as I always do. I will work hard for the team and our collective desire is for a win,\u201d Esiti told Brila.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not God. I have been playing professionally for seven years and my motto is ‘Fear no one but respect everyone’ and that\u2019s how I want to approach this game.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a team though, we\u2019ll need to pull our strengths and carry each other out on the pitch, as we work towards that common good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigeria lost 3-0 to the five-time world champions in their last meeting back in 2003 and will hope for a positive result against the South Americans in Singapore.<\/p>\n
