Nigeria Coach Rohr Reveals Plan To Stop Messi
Read Time:57 Second
Nigeria senior national team coach Gernot Rohr says he is working on a
plan to stop Argentina’s Lionel Messi at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in
Russia.
Rohr has revealed another possible way to ensure that the Barcelona
talisman does not hurt his team is to work as a collective.
The Franco-German tactician knows the importance of the player’s
influence in the Albiceleste and has insisted that the Argentine
skipper would not be man-marked during the match.
Rohr is also aware that the five-time world player of the year winner
is managing his playing time for both club and country to remain
injury-free in the final quarter of the ongoing football season.
“If Argentina wins its first two games, Messi may not want to play
against us, that’s another possibility,” Rohr was quoted by
FCBarcelonalive.
“In the alternative that he plays against us, nothing is impossible.
The only solution against Messi is a collective and not an individual
solution. We will have time to observe.”
Nigeria and Argentina will face each other at the global showpiece in
summer at the Krestovsky Stadium in St Petersburg, Russia.
