Nigeria don’t have players in Chelsea, Man Utd – Rohr takes dig

[OJI]

https://dailypost.ng/2022/01/11/afcon-n ... er-eagles/

Rohr, who was recently sacked by the Nigerian Football Federation, said that the Super Eagles have no players in Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

"The German tactician believes the Super Eagles cannot pretend to be better than Algeria or Egypt.


“When you don’t have the players in fantastic clubs, playing the semi-finals or quarter-finals of the Champions League all the time, you cannot pretend to be better than Algeria or Egypt."

He was like this the entire time. He hasn't changed.

It was a psychological act.

He always downplayed the team because if he succeeded then it was because of him and if they failed it was because the team was poor. That is how he was able to become the longest reigning manager in SE history (continuous reign).

A very smart tactic, but criminal. I saw through it very early on, but he fooled many. I overlooked it because the team was getting results, but he is not as smart as he thinks.

I hope Rohr watched that game. While I supported him for most of his tenure, his problem was and is his rigid conservatism. I hope he saw what a coach willing to play aggressively and organized can do. I hope Rohr learnt something

Like I said, I didn't mind the guy. But this game brought back the excitement I used to have around Nigerian soccer. It came back again. Rohr just got results. Entertainment...zero

[Goldleaf]

If Rohr watched the game today, he will finally understand that he wasted all those years never understanding us at all. We don't need players in Chelsea or Man City to beat Egypt.

i hope that is lesson learnt for him and where next he ends up, he understands the football they play there and lay off the scared tactics

[Dammy]

Rohr held the team back with his lack of faith in the squad. You don't need players in the strongest teams in club football to excel at international level. FRAUD!!!

Not ONLY Egypt but Any Team in The WORLD

[maceo4]

What was so effing weird was in some friendlies he set up and allow the young boys to express themselves, then when we have competitive games its always playing so scared and tentative and trying not to make any mistakes.

[doctorollie]

But for my Christian values, I would have said ‘fook’ you, Mr. Rohr!

[maceo4]

Fooking hediot, did he watch how these boys caged and outplayed Salah, haba they came out scared of our team b/c of all the attacking talent we put out there and they couldn't counter it at all.

ROHR WAS SUCH AS LOSER. Who says this stuff openly???

Rohr told football magazine World Soccer: “Nigeria don’t have these big stars like Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu or Victor Ikpeba. [Wilfried] Ndidi isn’t yet a star; [Kelechi] Iheanacho not yet either.


“They don’t have any players in Liverpool, Manchester, Munich or Chelsea, which is the case for Senegal, Egypt, and Ivory Coast.

“The biggest clubs are perhaps Leicester, or possibly Napoli with Victor Osimhen.

“When you don’t have the players in fantastic clubs, playing the semi-finals or quarter-finals of the Champions League all the time, you cannot pretend to be better than Algeria or Egypt.

“That is the question of football without stars. It is more collective football.”
Nigeria are in Group D alongside Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Sudan.

you people were abusing us when we were complaining after the friendly vs England in 2018.. una see how we moved the ball around today in midfield... did you see Aribo ? Once in while learn to take risk.. the SE is not a small footballing team .. we have our own style and that is what we all wanted and saw today

G4L - he didnt have to say it...it was obvious in the way his team played.

I said it previously, the day I truly despised the man was when the Eagles were openly celebrating a bronze medal.

The man mad a team that included previous ANC winners and a bunch of decent folks to buy into his underdog/average mentality.

I will say it again for the umpteenth time, teams that want to challenge or aim for the top do not hire a Rohr type coach. He is like Sam Alladyce, suited for relegation fighting teams or minnows. He does not have a big game mentality.

We may be rubbish, but confidence is one thing most Nigerians do not lack. We like to see passion and swagger and fight even if we lose.

Rohr made Nigerians believe they were minnows. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Westerhoff didn't have players at Chelsea either but he was able to recruit talents from the streets. We need a local coach who understands Naija football.

Bitter man.

we have plenty and most are from the 1994 set.... today watching the SE , i thought i was watching the 1994 team.. but trust picnic who got dazzled by power point presentation I can google a lot of info about naija players and pass a coaching interview... we do not need jose Preseria.. Egu has enough time almost a month before the playoffs.... we are good with the current setup

The sad thing is that is what he says from individual conversations in camp to press conferences.

I genuinely thought it was gamesmanship before the 2018 World Cup.

Until that Croatia game.

I knew there was no hope after that. The dude was a limiting factor, and not an enhancer.

He should have been fired after that, and not even the 1 good half vs Iceland could change my mind.

(And it had nothing to do with the stress of sleeping on cold benches at airports, trying to make my way to and from Russia for the World Cup)
