Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles’ coach, says Nigeria must have total
concentration against Argentina on Tuesday when they meet in a crucial
2018 FIFA World Cup Group D match.
NAN reports that Rohr at a
pre-match press conference on Monday said “Nigeria will play total
football with intense attack against Argentina” in the match at St.
Petersburg.
“We are going to play a wonderful mass attack. We are
going to play good game on Tuesday. We are going to defend the colours
of Nigeria.
“We will focus on our game, as we are not concerned about Lionel Messi’s skills, even though he is a good player.
“In football, there is no mercy. So, we will not show any mercy for the Argentina team,” he said.
He
also allayed fears about poor officiating, saying “we are not afraid of
any referee. All we need to do is play good football to get results.”
Rohr
promised to work on the team to take advantage of set-pieces and score
from free-kicks, a failure which has been the bane of most African teams
at the competition.
