We were lucky to beat Poland, says Rohr
Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles technical adviser, says his players were fortunate to have defeated Poland 1-0 in an international friendly match on Friday night.
Rohr hailed his boys for putting up a good fight against a “very solid” Poland team.
Victor Moses, top scorer for Nigeria at the World Cup qualifiers, netted the only goal of a gritty game at the Stadion Miejski.
“We were lucky to have won this game against a very solid Polish side,” Rohr said.
“They created some big opportunities to score and were dangerous from set pieces that we found difficult to cope with.
“But I praise my team for their victory.
“This team is a young team but also a team of leaders.
“If we stay humble and continue to work hard to improve our play we have huge potentials.
“Beating 2 FIFA top 10 teams in friendlies doesn’t mean we are now World Cup favourites.”
The Super Eagles now turn their attention to Tuesday’s friendly game against Serbia at the Hive Stadium in London.
This coach is really true to himself and the team. I like the realistic approach to his game plan. No beating around the bush or singing to the tune of your players. I hope he’ll achieve something great during his tenure.
