Rohr: We Lacked Fighting Spirit

Super Eagles Head Coach, Genort Rohr has express dismay at the performance of his players in their last AFCON group game 2-0 loss to Madagascar.
Lowly –rated Madagascar shocked Nigeria 2-0 as an awful performance by the Super Eagles handed the Indian Ocean islanders leadership of Group B and condemned the three –time champions to ignominious second place and a probable encounter with the Black Stars of Ghana in the Round of 16.

“We had the ball possession but the football wasn’t good, it was too slow and we missed the fighting spirit”, Rohr said after the game.

The desire to win wasn’t in the players today and Madagascar deserved the victory. Congratulations to them”, Rohr concluded

Nigeria will have a week of rest before a potential encounter with Ghana on Saturday, 6pm.
