The German strategist has
given reasons why he feels the three-time African bosses can't secure the pined
for prize
Nigeria public group mentor
Gernot Rohr has communicated his negativity about Nigeria's odds of winning the
World Cup with the current players available to him.
The Super Eagles' best
excursions at the worldwide competitions were in 1994, 1998 and 2002, when they
arrived at the Round of 16.
Rohr drove the West African
side to their 6th appearance at the 2018 release in Russia, where they slammed
out at the gathering stage.
The German strategist was
as of late gave another two-year bargain and could lead the three-time African
heroes to their next trip at the worldwide competition.
Rohr, in any case, accepts
the Super Eagles can't win the worldwide competition on the grounds that a
significant number of the players are not playing in top clubs.
"We are not prepared
to win the World Cup, for a few reasons," Rohr told NewsCentral.
"France is the heroes
right now, where they are playing? They are playing in PSG, Bayern Munich. Four
of them are title holders at their clubs too
"So when you have so
many of your players from your nations playing in the best clubs, so the
likelihood that you additionally have perhaps the best group on the planet is
huge.
"So what we have in
Nigeria for instance, we have our major parts in Fulham, in West Bromwich. It's
not Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United or Barcelona. Be that as it
may, different ones have their players there. So it would be a marvel on the
off chance that we really win the World Cup."
Rohr likewise uncovered
recently welcomed players like Matthew Yakubu and Sebastian Osigwe didn't get
an opportunity to highlight in their 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers
against Sierra Leone in November in light of the fact that the games were
serious.
The German strategist, be
that as it may, gave presentations to Frank Onyeka and Kevin Akpoguma, who
changed his devotion from Germany to Nigeria.
"We attempted in the
last couple of friendlies and even the global games in Benin City and in
Freetown, we had some new players," he proceeded.
"We had a few players
who chose to accompany us, leaving, for instance, Germany U20, U23 like
Akpoguma who chose to accompany us, it is fabulous
"However, they need
the future time in and it is difficult in a couple of instructional courses
just to discover precisely the correct method to play with the group, it's
simpler for different ones who were with us in the World Cup and played with us
in the Afcon.
"We need to attempt to
welcome better players, friendlies are useful for that to see them. At the point
when they are friendlies it isn't for the outcome we are playing, we need to
see new faces.
"We attempted new
goalkeepers, new wingers, new safeguards and the midfielder from Midtjylland
Onyeka, the Austrian goalkeeper.
"We saw a great deal
of major parts in the friendlies however they are sufficiently not, we just
have two since one year. At the point when you have games that you need results
it isn't the best second for the players and for the group to welcome new
ones."
Nigeria will assume the
Republic of Benin and Lesotho in their next Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in
March.
