Green said that Super Eagles handler, Gernot
Rohr’s current tour of Europe would be of
good help, adding: “We are in touch with him
(Coach Rohr). He is touring Europe to be very
sure of the present state of health of the
players. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says one
of its major concerns ahead of the 2018 World
Cup qualifier against Cameroun is the current
form of Super Eagles players.Most of our
players in Europe are currently off season,
while Cameroun just featured in the FIFA Confederations Cup campaign. So, our prayer is
for the Eagles to be in good health and superb
form before the encounter with the
Indomitable Lions. That is very important for
our team at the moment,” Chairman of NFF
Technical and Development Committee, Chris Green said yesterday in a chat with The
Guardian. Green said that Super Eagles handler, Gernot
Rohr’s current tour of Europe would be of
good help, adding: “We are in touch with him
(Coach Rohr). He is touring Europe to be very
sure of the present state of health of the
players. We are not sleeping and I pray we get it right against Cameroun so that our
qualification to Russia 2018 will be possible.” Green also spoke on the new date proposed
by world football ruling body FIFA for the tie
against Cameroun: “I think the board may
have to meet soon to decide whether to accept
the new date by FIFA or not. In a new proposal communicated to the NFF
last week, FIFA shifted the date for the clash
from the original date of September 1 to
August 30 due to issues bordering on
Television broadcast. The Amaju Pinnick-led
NFF is said to be holding talks with top officials of FIFA with a view to persuading them to see
reasons why the game should not be moved
forward. The argument by the NFF is that the
Super Eagles will enjoy full house if the match is
played on September 1, which is not
guaranteed if the match is played on a Friday (August 30) as being proposed by FIFA. Meanwhile, Green has said that the NFF board
would also thrash out issues surrounding the
match venue soon. “For now, the match venue
remains the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
But whether that will change or not will be
decided by the NFF board.”
