Gernot Rohr believes the Super Eagles were on the right path when he was in charge and would have won the Africa Cup of Nations.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the German who was sacked by the NFF for the team’s lethargic performance in the Fifa World Cup Qualifying is yet to come to terms with his sack but looked forward to the Afcon with great optismism.
“The target in the AFCON was for me to reach the final. So if I don’t get to the final in the AFCON, they could have a reason to sack me.” he told ESPN.
“I’m sure that I would have got to the final but of course it’s not 100% sure. I believe we could have had a good AFCON and also prepare for the World Cup through these six or seven weeks where we are working together, and the team can come closer and have more complicity, more harmony, and better football.
“And this would be very good preparation because the most important thing is to go to the World Cup.
I’m sure that the team is able to do it because the team is getting better and better. We have one of the youngest teams in African football, and that is what I told the NFF.”
Gernot Rohr reiterates that the team will have a good tournament in Cameroon.
“Of course! Last time we made third. We had a good AFCON, we lost in the semifinal in the last second. This time, I’m sure it would have been better because the team has been growing together for five years and we had our different strategies, and the tactics were becoming more and more efficient. And I think even without me, they will do it, they can do it, because this team is young, is intelligent, and they can fight. They love their fatherland and they will be able to do very well at the next AFCON.”
