Rohr Reveals Tactics To Be Used Against Argentina, Croatia At World Cup
Published: May 17, 2018Gernot Rohr has revealed the tactics that he will use against Nigeria's Group D opponents Argentina, Croatia and Iceland at the World Cup and has reiterated that the current squad has no key player who can single-handedly determine the outcome of matches.
The German has lavished praise on three former Nigeria internationals with past ties to Bundesliga clubs Austin Okocha, Victor Ikpeba and Victor Agali, and ex-Arsenal striker Nwankwo Kanu , adding that the likes of Mikel and Victor Moses are not on the same level.
''We don't have Kanu, Jay Jay Okocha, Ikpeba, Victor Agali, we have a team team who must win together, play quality football because not one player can make us win,'' Rohr said in an television interview on Channels Television.
''This is the first thing that we decided for everybody to be attacking when we have the ball, everybody has to defend when we don't have the ball.
''This quality kind of football brought us to the World Cup. When we get the ball, we have fast attacks, this kind of style is for me among our strengths.
''What I like about the team is the fighting spirit and the capacity to suffer together.''
The Super Eagles will begin preparations for the 2018 World Cup at their get-together in Uyo on May 22, ahead of friendlies against Democratic Republic of Congo, England and Czech Republic.
