Rohr: It will be goals galore for Nigeria at the World Cup
Nigeria national team coach Gernot Rohr is confident the Super Eagles will turnaround from the problems they currently have and come good during the Russia 2018 World Cup.
Rohr’s men scored just one goal in their last two pre-World Cup games, losing 0-2 to Serbia and the goal came in the 1-0 win over Poland in March.
“The Super Eagles will overcome whatever problems they’re having presently and do well at the World Cup,” Rohr said.
“I know we are lacking in some areas presently as shown in recent matches against Poland and Serbia, but we shall sort all that out before the World Cup.
“The friendly matches are meant to prepare for World Cup and correct any noticeable flaws and pick the best players who fit into my philosophy and tactics. I have seen two games and I have another three to play and pick my team for Russia.”
He continued: “We know the problems of the team and we shall try to correct them and try to play on the weakness of world cup opponents. We shall score goals in Russia and try to stop opponents from scoring. We have to work real hard to qualify from our group.”
They play their first game of the mundial against Croatia on June 16.
