Rohr Reveals What Has Pleased Him About Super Eagles Team In Recent Games
Published: November 18, 2019Nigeria recovered from a goal deficit to beat Benin 2-1 last Wednesday and the three-time African champs showed resilience once again in yesterday's match against Lesotho, coming from a goal down to beat the hosts 4-2 .
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr pointed out that a few positives have emerged from the his team's recent slow start to matches and he loves the team's fighting spirit, having salvaged wins from losing positions against the Squirrels and Crocodiles.
''In some matches we didn't score the first goal, others we conceded the first goal. We scored first against Brazil, Ukraine and Tunisia in three previous matches and we didn't win, only against Tunisia,'' Rohr told reporters.
''So I prefer to concede the first goal and to win the match and it is also shows that my team have a good spirit, they never give up, they don't lose calm, they try to play well, they don't panic.
''You know we have a very young team and this young team what I like is the enthusiasm they have to play football and even if they concede a goal they don't stop.''
