Rohr roars: I will drill Eagles to shape

Gernot Rohr has promised to knock the Super Eagles into tip top shape before the team leaves Austria for Russia on Monday, June 11.

The Nigerian senior national team lost two friendly matches in quick succession against England and Czech Republic but Rohr said that the players have made improvement  after last Wednesday’s defeat.

The ex- coach of Niger’s national team told SportingLife.ng that the last days in the team’s camp in Austria will be tough for the players.

“We are working very hard. We have time now for concentration before our first match against Croatia.

” Playing Czech Rep was not easy for us because in between that match and that of England, we used four days to travel.
“After that, we have to recover and change our tactics. Now, we can work physically, technically and tactically.

” We are going to make use of the remaining days in Austria to work very hard in our training sessions. We will train twice everyday until we leave for Russia on Monday”

He was however satisfied with the level of commitment displayed by the players assuring that the team will be ready to do the country proud in Russia when the World Cup begins.

“Today, I’m so happy with the commitment of the team. The players are improving and we will be ready because we have another one week to prepare” Rohr stated.
