S’Eagles, Still Work In Progress -Rohr

Despite their 1-0 win over Poland last weekend and performance against Serbia last night, Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr says his team is still a work in progress.

“We’ve seen a lot of good things and some things we must work on before the World Cup in Russia,” Rohr said.
“Friendly matches provide a great opportunity to see everything about your team.
“It is not really the same as a World Cup game. Our preparation is still a work in progress to be ready.
“We know winning friendly matches could give us false hope but we want to keep working hard.”
Apart from this clash, the Super Eagles faced Serbia in another friendly in Barnet, London last night.
The win over Poland will be a huge boost to Nigerian confidence over a team ranked sixth in the world, 46 places above the Super Eagles.
It was the second notable friendly win for the Super Eagles after a 4-2 triumph over 2014 World Cup runners-up Argentina last November.
Nigeria faces the two-time World Champions again in the group stage in Russia as they are in Group D.
Meanwhile, former Nigeria international, Christian Chukwu has called for the Super Eagles goalkeepers to be assessed during the friendly.
Super Eagles first-choice keeper Carl Ikeme is unavailable as he is currently undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with cancer last year.
Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr and his technical team are left to choose between the trio of Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi and Francis Uzoho.
“We have about two or three friendly matches coming, so the coach can use them to assess the goalkeepers on ground,” Chukwu told newsmen.
“He can rotate the goalkeepers in the friendly games and by the time the World Cup is nearer we will get the goalkeeper we need.
“And I believe we will do well in the World Cup,” the former Nigeria coach added.
Last Friday night, Victor Moses’ second-half goal earned Nigeria a 1-0 win over Poland in a friendly match at the Stadion Miejski in Wroc³aw.
Promising shot-stopper Uzoho, who plies his trade in the Spanish La Liga for Deportivo La Coruna, kept a clean sheet on debut for the Super Eagles..
