Okocha Applauds Rhor For Changing Teams Tactics 

Former Super Eagles international, Austin Jay Jay Okocha has applauded Coach Gernot Rohr for accepting criticisms and changing his tactics, leading to Nigeria’s victory over Iceland in the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Okocha, speaking on Supersports after the Super Eagles’ 2-0 victory over Iceland, noted that it is difficult for coaches these days to accept criticisms, but with Rohr doing that, he should be commended.

Recall that Okocha had blamed the 2-0 loss to Croatia in the first match to lack of having a creative midfielder, urging Rohr to play Iwobi in the midfield.
“I think I am a little better now, Jay Jay said. 
 I was a bit nervous going into this match, but I must commend Coach Gernot Rohr for accepting criticisms and changing tactics for this game. It is difficult for coaches these days to accept criticisms, as they always prefer to stick to their plans, but his change of tactics has granted Nigeria victory”
Nigeria will face Argentina in the last group match in St Petersburg on Tuesday while Iceland face group leaders Croatia in Rostov-on-Don.
