Rohr to Ighalo critics: When a player has a problem, we all have the problem with him
Super Eagles Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has told Changchun Yatai forward, Odion Ighalo’s critics not to criticize the player but to encourage him as his team set to face Seychelles in the Matchday Two of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Victoria.
Despite his unimpressive performance at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia where he failed to convert two begging chances against Argentina which could have sent the Super Eagles to the knock out stage of the mundial, Gernot Rohr believes the striker can silent his critics with the new call up.
“You know he’s one of our players who did so well in the qualification, remember what he did, he played very well but at the World Cup he missed one or two opportunities against Argentina.”
He continued “We don't let go a player like him so we want to allow him to score goals and to show to all his critics that he's still able to do well for his country.”
“You know when a player has a problem, we all have the problem with him, we share the problem with him and give him the chance to show that he can do better,” Rohr told nigeriasportsarena.blogspot.com
