Rohr Takes A Leaf Out Of World Cup-Winning Manager's Book: Eagles Wear GPS Trackers

European football tactician Gernot Rohr has taken a leaf out of Joachim Low's book, with the national team players wearing GPS trackers before the start of the training session. (see photo)

That small device was instrumental to the success of Germany winning the 2014 World Cup, Low decided to introduce Mario Gotze, who netted the winning goal, as a substitute over other options based on GPS data.

The GPS data will measure how the Super Eagles players perform in training games, the number of changes in direction, cardiac frequency variable that is monitoring of their heartbeats.

Rohr will be able to compare the players in camp and the information will assist him to know a player's level while with the national team.

As at the time this report, the players were taking part in a shooting practice before the start of the practice game.

this is a welcome development , harness of technology in sport in africa is the way to go , i think this time we re better prepared and , this device has a lot to reveal about our players , no where to hide for the lazy ones and at the same time he can as well caution the workaholic at training .... how well can they interpret the data and use it to our advantage during match proper ?.... we re gradually getting there .

he looks like a japanese .... another pensioner has emerged

Afobear:
Nigerian team is wack and I can't wait to see the festival of goals they will concede this mundial . If you like all you beer parlour analysts here ,you can' quote me and say shit but I will never gratify you by replying you

spotted a troll

When someone dribbles you like this , he is an assassin run for your dear life .

TheSuperNerd:
So Arsenal have finally confirmed Unai Emery as their new coach....


What are Iwobi's chances like in Emery's reign?

Anyway, I believe a great WC for Iwobi will make Emery take early notice of him before he even returns to The emirates to meet his new manager.

Emery play an attacking style , i think Iwobi will do well if given the chance he had with Wenger

he has this attacking style too but a leaking defence ... can he do well for Arsenal ? time will tell .

Jarus:
As a followet of Ghanaian football for many years, this does not surprise me.

Nothing like friendly in anything football versus Nigeria by Ghanaians - players and fans.

Check out the football forum of ghanaweb to see what I'm talking about.

i agree with you ... if it were to be a competitive match , nothing would have stopped him from getting a red card .

elyte89:
My best goal on d pitch of play tonight was usman Mohammed goal


Calm cool and collected with d ball

He finished DT athletico defender guy,dribbled him on a spot 3times b4 slotting it home

If it was messi or cronaldo DT scored d goal,we no go hear word for here

he dribbled him 3 times, the guy even faced his keeper , and still spread his leg in the wrong direction , thinking that Usman will play the ball in that direction ... Usman deserves some accolades for that brilliant performance .

Icon4s:
Plus Ebube Duru

dont forget IKOM Utin .... he played that left wing back position very well

now know where he discovered those skills of jumping around .... sometimes i wonder if he gets tired

gamaliel9:
Team chemistry and unity is very important.. Icardi is a virus....As Argentina is our enemy..hehe...I am not happy that Icardi is not in the team..however i see that Dybala is there...there is a psychological war going on between him and Messi...He wants to be respected too and given free roles as Messi...

simple and short , we re not friends with Argentina .... after the world cup we can be friends

tbaba1234:
Icardi can score a million goals and still be dropped. He slept with a former teammates wife so his presence will just bring disharmony in the camp.

if that is the problem , they should keep him in their selection ,and let him cause more head ache for them .... i want more confusion for them

Only God knows what ICARDI has done,No icardi and yet there is a christian pavon from Boca junior

confusion in thier camp already ... Icardi is the highest goal scorer in the Serie A.

andrew444:
Mehn barcelona is more than a club,look at andres iniesta send off,No club will ever do such,even madrid did not do this to raul and i am not sure if ronaldo will get such send off,Now imagine how messi send off will be like?

Barcelona is more than a club,still wonder why people support plastic EPL clubs like chelsea,i believe all chelsea fans are kid who started watching football yesterday.

Anyway super eagles for the world cup and to hell with my lovely messi as far as the world cup is concerned.

Iniesta worth the accolades given to him , he has played under 9 different managers with 9 Laliga trophies , over 600 caps ... who else deserves to be celebrated ?

the love they have for the Super eagles grow, after they trashed Barcelona .... the radio presenter has done a very good job ...

Bolowolowo:
Guys, a snapshot of our fowards for Russia...

THE MOST DANGEROUS AMONG THEM ACCORDING TO STAT. JUNIOR LOKOSA FOLLOWED BY Odion Ighalo . what if Lokosa makes it to the world cup ?

forgiveness:
How can you know when you are trying hard to Justify the inclusion of simy and dismerit the inclusion of Ogbeche by using the overall statistics of Ogbeche in all his seasons in PSG with Simy's current season?

Double standard.

If you want to truely know, please kindly go to transfermarkt and search for Ogbeche's 2001/2002 season with PSG.

Those who watched the matches of Ogbeche will never request for that information. Thanks

do you know hat Ogbeche's contract will expire this summer and his club will not renew it .... that says alot about him ...

tbaba1234:
Musa is needed but he is not among the first 11. He will be more of an impact sub.

nobody is first 11 except Mikel .... we dont know what Russia will bring ... i know our guys will come out good ... what if Musaturn into a complete beast , just the same way he ran down Argentina

i remember the good old days , my mama go put soup for you na you go make your eba the way you like am ....are you talking of "fi eshe lu "?



the best Eba is the one that you throw at the wall that will stick come back to you like a basket ball .

AIG07:
smart line-up. No need to risk the main team against a team that has nothing to loose if all their players get injured.

and you think you don't need Ahmed MuSA , as much as you need the other players , don't forget , Ahmed Musa is so used to the environment and i believe he will do well going by his recent club performance ... we will need him more he should also be treated with all manners of Care


dont forget Brian Idowu .

will this guy perform the wonders Wenger is known for .... dashing out three points is the trade mark of Wenger ... Arteta please continue

Icon4s:
Yeah we were very clinical and scored when it mattered.

Rufai kept us in the game.

That was a great Bulgarian team that went all the way to the semis.

I will never forget that game in a hurry.

i love the team setup , if one player misses the chance the other player is there to execute it , if Yekini had missed the chance , Amuinike was there to carry out his duty , even when Yekini missed the crosses , Amunike went there with a flying header ... the same thing at the back line set up , they played for one another .... this is the similarity this present team has , but i hope they will be displine enough to play together as one unit and hit the opponent when its necessary ...

edi287:
Meanwhile let's talk about the crazy depth these French guys have...God!

martial would have forced his transfer in january ...i must commend France , even after selecting their best they still have another set of best ...

AIG07:
you get am Sir.

Wenger don talk am finish. He saw into the future and concluded that "in the not too far future, the use of conventional coaches will be the things of the past as anybody can manage a team with the use of computer gadget" (note: the quote is not words for words of what he said.) e never retire d thing don de come to pass.

this will not be too good ... in some virtual war games, you can plan a war , and win it successfully and this same method can be apply in real life situation .....technology don take over

FIFA to provide ´player stats tablets´ at World Cup

17 May 2018

FIFA is introducing a new approach to tactical analysis at the upcoming World Cup with "small handheld technologies" to be used by coaching teams during matches.
Each of the 32 competing nations will have the option to operate two tablets containing player metrics, real-time positional data and video footage.

One will be allocated to a designated team analyst in the stands, who will be able to communicate via a chat tool with the second device user on the bench.

Information provided by the new system is intended to be assessed both in-game and at half-time, as well as in post-match debriefings.
The implementation of the analysis tools, which has been approved by the rule-making International Football Association Board, follows FIFA's concerted move towards technology, with the usage of the video assistant referee having already been confirmed for Russia.

Team analysts will be able to communicate with the bench using a special analyst communication app for the first time at a #WorldCup.

***Oya Oga Mickael2 make you forward your CV to the appropriate quarters. We're in dire need of a Virtual Analyst to complement our Video Analyst***

na this kind job go suit Oliseh.

anyone with knowledge of football manager even or PES /Fifa will be a good virtual analyst ... just transfer the remaining job to the person handling the bench soon we will stop enjoying the fun in football and what we will be left with is the money that is involve

Joebie:
kai na wa o

so bad ! he has messed up his career .

Bros, one thing you guys still need to learn is how to ignore SENSELESS, SILLY, and STUPID comments.


O pari

Who is making senseless and stupid comment i want to believe you re not directing this to me .... ??

Icon4s:
Just like Argentina and Portugal can play without Messi and Ronaldo respectively.

If Moses is unavailable it is a different thing. You have him fit and available and you put him on the bench?

The only chance we created against Poland all 90mins was created and the penalty converted by Moses. That is a kind of player that can single handedly convert a draw to a win or a lose to a draw.

He remains our most dangerous forward.

and thesame team played without Moses and won Argentina ..... i am a fan of Moses but i dont like to see him on his off day , cos the nonsense he will play will affect the good of others ... Conte brought out the best of him , he has stopped his over dribbling ... but i still stand that the team can play without Moses ... its only Mikel that we dont have a replacement for .

Taliban:
To Komekn I am disappointed and gutted at the real Southgate not the pseudo one. Why did he leave out such talented players as
JOSH Onomah
Seyi Ojo
Dominic solanke
Tammy Abraham
Dominic Iorfa
Lookman
These are young guys doing exceptionally well, some are even U20 WC winners, some playing very well in the championship. Despite the fact that Nigeria has left these boys for England. It is either Southy is incompetent or this is corruption on the grandest scale ever. These guys weren't even given an opportunity because they weren't ALLOWED.

Look at the England list again and tell me if any of your listed player is better than the ones selected .....

AIG07:
It's Mikel and Mikel alone. I would have added Moses. But Tactics can do the job.

that team can play without Moses , i know Icon4s will not like this .

tbaba1234:
Mikel is the only player that is indispensable right now but i feel Iwobi will do a good job if given the responsibility. Awaziem and Omeruo can cover for Balogun. Against Argentina, we had Omeruo, Ekong and Awaziem for a while and the defence was solid

The 2014 team only had a first 11..

Omeruo is error prone . i am yet to trust Awaziem . Ekong partnership with Leon is the best i have seen
