GOOD NEWS......'Vincent Enyeama will come back if we qualify for the World Cup'- Technical adviser Gernot Rohr

hehehehe.....Super Eagles technical adviser Gernot Rohr has sensationally revealed that former Nigeria captain Vincent Enyeama who quit the Super Eagles last year will return to the Super Eagles once the team has fought for, and clinched the ticket to the Russia 2018 World cup.

Wolves of England goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has been impressive since taking over the goalkeeping duties, keeping a clean sheet against Tanzania and making three important saves against Zambia. Rohr has said even though Ikeme has been wonderful, Enyeama will still come back to the team.

 'I've known him (Ikeme) before now. I have seen him in his club, Wolverhampton Wanderers a second division side in England. I like his approach to the game, his concentration, calmness, attitude to training and games.' Rohr told CompleteSportsNigeria. 

' He is a good goalkeeper and I must commend him for his saves in Ndola. Carl kept us in the game by pulling at least three great saves. He was the man of the match against Zambia. Great guy. I said it that I wanted Vincent Enyeama to return from retirement and I called him and we spoke with him. He will come back if we qualify for the World Cup. We need very good goalkeepers in the Eagles.' 

'We have two local goalkeepers whom I don't know if they will fit in if Carl sustains an injury, so I think we need two big goalkeepers. Of course for this moment, Carl is number one. We cannot change him, he will be number one for the next game

Super Eagles chief technical adviser Gernot Rohr has reiterated to Nigerians that getting the world cup ticket will be difficult , but has called on the crowd at the International stadium, Uyo to give the Nigeria team maximum support when Nigeria tackles Algeria next month in it's second World Cup qualifier.

Algeria are seen as favorites in the group tagged 'group of death' but drew their first game against Cameroon while Nigeria won theirs away against Zambia.

 

Gernot Rohr speaking to CompleteSportsNigeria said : 

'I feel great starting my job as coach of the Super Eagles on a good note, winning two competitive games. The recent win in Zambia gives me the feeling that we are up to something great. It is nice to work with the players and officials of the team. The Nigeria Football Federation has also made my stay so far wonderful. I am enjoying my stay here now' 

'We know them (Algeria) very well because most of the players have been educated in France, played in France, come from the French academy. Some of them played for French junior teams before changing to playing for the Algerian national team. I have seen them play live and I know their setup. Of course, I know the players.' 

'We will know more of the way they played against Cameroon when the video clips and reports get to us. I sent someone to watch the game and I await the details from him. I have also seen the match on television. We shall do an analysis of the video when we get it and then take it from there and we will know much more about them.' 

'My players want to have the World Cup ticket. The ticket will be difficult, but everybody knows that we have the capacity to come first out of this group, but you know it requires a lot of hard work. We have already three points, I'm sure with 12 points we could be the team coming out of this group. We shall work very, very hard to ensure that we win all three of our home matches to get 12 points.  

'After the first game, we are on top, and we can say Cameroon did well to get a draw in Algeria and now it is in our hands to beat the Algerians in Uyo. I know that it will be difficult because they also don't want to lose in Uyo. But we want, absolutely, to win this game and remain on top of the group'
