Nigeria's senior football team technical adviser Gernot Rohr has
revealed that every team (Zambia, Algeria, Zambia) in Nigeria's 2018
World Cup qualifying group has the potential to qualify but that
Nigeria's recent success at Rio Olympics can give the Super Eagles extra
motivation .
Speaking at the team's media conference in Uyo, Gernot Rohr said;
''All the four teams in this group have equal chances of going to the
2018 World Cup in Russia. You have a big team in Algeria, ranked Number
One in Africa at the moment. Everybody knows Algeria has great players,
so it is going to be a big challenge in this group.
'It is good we are going
to Zambia first and don’t forget that Zambia is a big team too because
they won the AFCON in Gabon in 2012. They have a big tradition as well.
The group is open but I think the motivation of the Nigerian team is
very, very high.
"All the teams in our group want to be at the World Cup in Russia but we
have a bigger motivation particularly with the good performance of the
Nigeria at the recent Olympic Games in Rio. We don’t have much time
honestly, but it is possible to build a very good team.”
