WORLD CUP: ROHR TO INVITE 35 TO CAMP, AIMS FOR Q-FINAL
http://aoifootball.com/2018/02/05/russi ... says-rohr/
Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Gernot Rohr, has set a quarterfinal berth for Nigeria at the World Cup later this year in Russia, AOIFootball.com can report.
The Franco-German coach, who believes the country has all it takes to surpass her previous best of round of 16, admits both he and the NFF have been working round the clock to ensure the Super Eagles are fully ready before the Mundial.
“We have set a target to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup and for this reason, we are taking only the best players who are fit and in good form. We have a good program going to Russia with series of friendly games that will put us in shape for the World Cup.
“I believe it’s not going to be an easy one but I’m confident that with the right preparations and logistics being put in place, the team will do well,” Rohr said.
The Eagles’ handler further revealed that he is looking to have close to 35 players for the World Cup camping out of which he would select the best 23 to represent the country.
“The idea is to have three players for every position in camp from where I would probably pick the best two each and three of the five goalkeepers for the World Cup in Russia,” Rohr stated.
He commended the NFF for the way they sorted out the players’ bonuses and allowances, adding that this will allow the team to concentrate on the game with the assurance that their money is safe.

Re: WORLD CUP: ROHR TO INVITE 35 TO CAMP, AIMS FOR Q-FINAL
35 players for what? Is this supposed to be an open camp or what? I hope rohr hasn’t succumbed to pressure that befalled our previous local coaches. I ask again, do we really need 35 players to prepare for the upcoming World Cup? No for me except our coach is trying to integrate multiple newer players.

I like this. He can monitor the players close up and see who to take. 3 players for every position.

Re: WORLD CUP: ROHR TO INVITE 35 TO CAMP, AIMS FOR Q-FINAL
Reading carefully it's a reharsh of old news. All the writer has added is the piece on the 35 man squad and Rohr setting a quarter final target. Then he made those two pieces of info the focus of the article.... I guess in the absence of any news man must wack.

Re: WORLD CUP: ROHR TO INVITE 35 TO CAMP, AIMS FOR Q-FINAL
I am wondering as well. The question of 'expectation' have been raised several times before, but coach Rohr never answered them. Thus, why would he set such goal for himself/team now? I think the article is FAKERobotnik wrote:Rohr will not set any benchmark for himself or the team. Fake news

Re: WORLD CUP: ROHR TO INVITE 35 TO CAMP, AIMS FOR Q-FINAL
35 makes sense cos 30 will go into the preliminary squad to be submitted to FIFA.
Squads
Each team must first name a preliminary squad of 30 players. From the preliminary squad, the team must name a final squad of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline. Players in the final squad may be replaced due to serious injury up to 24 hours prior to kickoff of the team's first match, where the replacement players do not need to be in the preliminary squad.
For players named in the 30-player preliminary squad, there is a mandatory rest period between 21 and 27 May 2018, except for those involved in the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final played on 26 May.

Rohr has flatly refused to set any target in the few interviews I have seen him give. So when did he give this interview with this target? I would be highly disappointed if his goal is not to win the whole thing. That does not mean we will, but we must not go to the tournament with a limited mentality.

Re: WORLD CUP: ROHR TO INVITE 35 TO CAMP, AIMS FOR Q-FINAL
35 is just about right. Rohr’s real list is probably only about 28 players but he’ll probably call some young players and a few local players who have had a good season to give them encouragement and experience. Players like Alhassan and yahaya are likely to be called with an eye on the future. Great Plan.
OCCUPY NFF!!
