Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr has come out to say that he was satisfied with his boys’ 0-0 draw against Sierra Leone on Tuesday.
He recently revealed that Nigerians must know that there are no more minors in African football and all teams are quality now.
According to him, he is happy that the draw vs Sierra Leone kept Nigeria at the top of the table, so his team just needs to focus on the matches vs Benin and Lesotho.
He added that the nation is very close to qualification, but he surely expects tougher matches ahead.
His words, “It’s a long time that we had a goalless defence and we wanted to be solid after what happened in the second half the other day and I am especially very happy for our goalkeeper who showed to everybody that he is a good one,” Rohr told the media.
“We have a young team and it was a shock the other day after the injury of Victor Osimhen, everybody was afraid.
“They wanted to fight for him, they did it, they fought very well and I think that this draw keeps us top of the table, we have to play another two games now against Benin and Lesotho.
“Normally, it is not official, but we are very close now to qualification, we saw also the result of Benin who played a draw in Lesotho. All the games are difficult, there are no little opponents.”
