ROHR REVEALS NIGERIA’S GAME PLAN AT THE WORLD CUP
TRENDING NOW: #MTNshortz3sixtyworld
Gernot Rohr has revealed that the Super Eagles formation at the 2018
World Cup will be determined by how the opponents line up.
The German has tested out the 3-5-2, 4-1-2-1-2 and 4-2-3-1 formations
in recent friendlies and training sessions.
While the team is blessed with an embarrassment of riches in attack,
the likes of Alex Iwobi, Victor Moses, Kelechi Iheanacho, Odion Ighalo
and Ahmed Musa, the defenders and goalkeeper have to up their game.
”Our offensive is well-known, that’s right. But I think we are
already balanced,” said Rohr to welt.de.
”Our style of play also depends on the opponent. We beat Argentina
4-2 in a friendly in November. It is not just about the results, but
also about the appearance of the team.
”We want to give a good picture of the African continent – together
with Senegal we are the only black African team in the tournament.”
The Super Eagles will be seeking their first win in their opening game
of the World Cup in 20 years when they clash with Croatia next
Saturday.
