Ex-international, Emmanuel Amuneke has stated that he is confident that Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr will qualify the team for the 2018 World Cup and the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Nigeria lost their opening group fixture 0-2 to Bafana Bafana of South Africa on June 10.
Super Eagles is currently third on the log behind Libya and South Africa.
Speaking on preparation by the Nigerian team, Amuneke assured soccer fans that there is no cause for alarm.
“I don’t think Nigerians should panic over the team’s 2-0 loss against South Africa in Uyo considering the fact that he played the game with relatively unknown players,” Amuneke told Vanguard.
“I believe the Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr must have learnt from the errors that occurred in the match and will seek ways to redeem his image by ensuring the team qualify for the Nations Cup in Cameroon.”
The Former Nigeria U-17 coach played 27 times for Nigeria, scoring nine goals.
He was part of the team that participated at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States.
Meanwhile, former Super Eagles International, Nwankwo Kanu has stated that Nigeria must do well against the indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
Papilo as fondly called said Eagles need to take the maximum point to secure a qualification place for next year’s World Cup.
The Gernot Rohr boy’s top Group B with 6 points and a victory against the Cameroonian side would enhance their chances of obtaining a ticket in Russia.
