Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has explained why he didn’t call up any new player in the squad of the Super Eagles for the 2002 World Cup Qualifiers.
Rohr will be making his list of players for the upcoming games against Liberia and Cape Verde respectively public next week but as first reported by OwnGoalNigeria.com, the coach didn’t include any new player in the list.
According to Rohr, the decision is borne out of the fact that the qualifiers isn’t the right avenue to try out new players as he sees all games as very important to their plan of finishing top of their group.
The coach said he trust the players he has in his team at the moment to get the desired result “ We have a team that we trust,” Rohr said.
“Bringing in new players to the team at this time of the season is not the best moment because we will only have one or two training sessions to prepare for a match.”
