Super Eagles coach Rohr shares how Nigeria can qualify for World Cup


Gernot Rohr, technical adviser of the Super
Eagles, has urged his players to be at their
best in order to stand a chance at qualifying
for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Rohr was speaking during a visit to the
secretariat of the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF) on Tuesday, September 6, where he
met with the General Secretary, Dr.
Mohammed Sanusi and other top officials.
Rohr says Nigeria need all the best players
they have, for the team to qualify for the
2018 World Cup in Russia
Rohr told NFF website: “We will need all our
best players to be at their very best. We had a
good list for the Tanzania match but a couple
of players were injured and we will like to look
at those ones as well.
“The focus is to strengthen the spine of the
team and ensure they can beat any team. The
confidence has not been there because the
team failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of
Nations, but when results start to come, the
confidence will return.”
Rohr also thanked his assistants and the
NFF for receiving him well.

“I have been well –received by my assistant,
(Salisu) Yusuf as well as Imama (Amapakabo)
and Alloy (Agu), and also by the backroom
staff,” he said.
The German expressed hopes that he will
continue to have the support of the NFF in
order to achieve the set goals.
His words: “To be received with so much
warmth by the NFF Management means we are
all on the same page and we can work
together and live as a family.
“I have a very good feeling about this job and
the people I have to work with. I am also
happy that the first week went very well
because the players were able to quickly
imbibe our philosophy.
“We need to have solidarity all round. The
Technical Committee members have also been
great. Certainly, the National Technical Director
also has a role to play. The ambience is
impressive.”

officials of the NFF
Rohr began his Super Eagles campaign on a
winning note with a 1-0 victory against
Tanzania in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier.
His next assignment is a World Cup
qualifying game as Nigeria face Zambia in an
away clash on October 8.

Men in Japan are great fans of used ladies’ underwear. They seem to like the smell of it and the ones worn by young girls are the most popular. There are companies that sell the used panties packed up in special boxes and with the pictures of the girls who wore them. The business is a very lucrative one in this country.
