Rohr targets four points against Libya, hails Samuel Kalu and Semi Ajayi
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has said he plans to win at least four
points off AFCON Group E leaders Libya when both teams clash in a
double header next month.
Libya top the standings on four points ahead of South Africa, who also
have same points but an inferior goals’ difference.
Super Eagles are third on three points after Saturday’s 3-0 win at
Seychelles, who are without any points from two games.
The Eagles will welcome the Libyans on October 10 with the return game
three days later in Tunisia.
“We’re now only a point behind Libya and we have to win when we
welcome them. We have to do at least four points against them,” Rohr
said.
“They did a good job in South Africa (0-0 with Bafana Bafana in Durban).
Man of Match Samuel Kalu
“We need a good, big pitch for our wingers and technical football.
“Our injured players like (William) Ekong), Ola Aina and Mikel (Obi)
will be back.
“And we now have two new players (from the Seychelles match) –
(Samuel) Kalu had a very interesting performance and (Semi) Ajayi did
very well as a defender.
“The group is progressing and we are finding new possibilities to
replace some of our players.”
