Nigeria vs Argentina: Rohr states what Eagles must do, speaks on Messi

Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles' coach, says Nigeria must have total
concentration against Argentina on Tuesday when they meet in a crucial
2018 FIFA World Cup Group D match.


NAN reports that Rohr at a pre-match press conference on Monday said
"Nigeria will play total football with intense attack against
Argentina" in the match at St. Petersburg.

"We are going to play a wonderful mass attack. We are going to play
good game on Tuesday. We are going to defend the colours of Nigeria.


"We will focus on our game, as we are not concerned about Lionel
Messi's skills, even though he is a good player.

"In football, there is no mercy. So, we will not show any mercy for
the Argentina team," he said.

He also allayed fears about poor officiating, saying "we are not
afraid of any referee. All we need to do is play good football to get
results."


Rohr promised to work on the team to take advantage of set-pieces and
score from free-kicks, a failure which has been the bane of most
African teams at the competition.
