Yes we don't have players in the league of Salah, Mane and Mahrez.

humility33:
Even Harland will struggle to score goals in this napoli team

Everyone upfront wanna score, they barely create chances for their strikers. Don't think it will be easy for a top 9 to get an hatrick in this team playing italian teams....

My advise is for him to try score beyond 20 goals this season and should interest from bayern or other top teams spring up he should take it and leave the team

Napoli have a lot of selfish players. Victor is really trying.

ChrisKels:
No! we don't over rate him neither do we rate him as highly as foreigners do him. Osimhen brings much more to the party than just goals, and this is what sets him apart. There are strikers and there are strikers

It is actually insulting to the likes osimehn and Ndidi when their national team coach downplays his players by saying, that they don’t have players in the mould of a Salah and mane. By voicing such derogatory comments, you’re disrespecting your own superstars “osimehn and Ndidi” and also motivating your direct opponents/Rival. Rohr is lucky that he is dealing with an incompetent FA because some of his comments are terminable offenses at bigger club. Can you imagine Barcelona coach saying that Barcelona don’t have a good coach like Real Madrid. For example, 1 v 1 Algeria didn’t had the strongest squad at the last ANC, but they won it despite Senegal and Ivory Coast having a stronger squad on paper. It was simply down to their coach motivation and believe. He was saying from the on set, that Algeria are aspiring to win the nations cup and look at what happened

If I was super eagles superstars like osimehn and Ndidi, anytime Rohr downplay them to their direct rival, I would reciprocate similar behavior.
For example
Interviewer: Congratulations osimehn on your hat trick vs senegal
Osimehn: Yes, thank you… our coach might not be as good as Senegal coach, but the players collectively believed in each other and assisted me to score important goals…. Let Rohr take a dose of his own medicine.

Maybe if he was white or non African he would have been taking some of those penalties.

andrewbaba44:
This has nothing to do with white bro’s

How many pk takers do share their pk apart from Messi ?

Please just mention 3 club PK takers who used to share their pk

Simmy scored 8 PK last season how many did he allow Adam ounas and co to take ?

It is a big fat Lie. This season, osimehn has been as good as anyone in Africa including Salah, mane and mahrez. Ndidi has been regarded as one of the best DM in the epl for the past few seasons and just because he isn’t an attacking player shouldn’t negate his top notch defensive duties. This season, osimehn has more goals than Mahrez and mane and aside of his goals, his performances has been world class this season. It is a big Fat lie to say that we don’t have any player in the mould of Salah, mane and mahrez. Also, a coach should not be downplaying his team to his direct rival… fans can make such comments, but as a coach, you shouldn’t be making such comments

Although, people are showing their grievances because osimehn didn’t take any penalties. But, how many player will still be given the responsibility of taking penalties when they have missed 3 in 5 at the beginning of a season? Insigne was following coach orders but he should had been classy to give osimehn 1 considering the score line and osimehn initiating the penalties. Consequently, osimehn was self centered by not celebrating with his team mate after scoring… they are both wrong in my opinion

Nobody has been good as salah in the whole world

Stop watching back of tv

None of your wingers has been good as mane also

andrewbaba44:
So penalty is now important , Lol

Insigne is the Messi of Napoli , the earlier you accept this the better for you

He has missed 3 in 5 ? He scored 2 yesterday ,his sins has been forgiving

Insigne is not Messi ,95 percent of footballers are greedy with PK

Messi has gifted 29 penalty to teammates

Osimehn form has been better than mane this season. He isn’t a winger, but he is an equivalent of mane at his position. I agree that Salah has been one of the best players this season, but osimehn is close enough. Either way, they’re our direct rivals and your coach shouldn’t be down playing his star men to their direct rivals. You as a fan, can say such but our coach shouldn’t

Mujtahida:
He does that all the time. No coach in Nigeria's footballing history has such a defeatist mindset. If there was one thing Westerhof had, it was courage and that is why his team played with so much swagger. From the beginning they start attacking vigorously - no fear, no hesitation.

But Rohr team be moving like a patched up vehicle on a bad road.

TheGoodJoe:
During an interview in Port Harcourt, Nigeria head coach, Bora Milutinovic, 1998, was asked by a Journalist, Sam Atasia

Sam Atasia: Bora, you know the strength of the Spanish side with the likes of Raul, Hierro, Luis Enrique, Alfonso and a host of others.

Do you think the Nigerian Super Eagles should be scared of facing Spain?

Bora: Spain should be scared of Nigeria.


The journalists were speechless.

Few weeks later, we beat Spain and won the group that had Paraguay and Bulgaria.


Rohr should learn a thing or two from Bora.

Super Eagles List For Liberia, Cape Verde Clash – Rohr List Ighalo Among Strikers
thestreetjournal.org


Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has confirmed that Al Shabab of Saudi Arabian forward Odion Ighalo is in his provisional list of players for the World Cup qualifiers next month.

Nigeria will first play Liberia at their new home ground in Morocco before returning home to round up the qualifiers with a game against Cape Verde in Lagos.

The Super Eagles currently hold a two point lead over second place Cape Verde but Rohr is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to ensure that the finish the qualifiers on a high, and he has listed Ighalo who quit the team in 2019 among the strikers for the games.

In an interview with Elegbete TV, the German coach confirmed the invitation of the forward saying his leadership will be key for the remaining games but he however sounded unsure about the forward accepting the call, although according to Rohr Ighalo still has the ambition to help the Super Eagles.

“Because we miss his leadership, we miss his experience, we miss the goals he scores, he was the best scorer at the AFCON, the best scorer during the qualifiers and I think we have so many young players and they could learn a lot on the side of such a great player. Ighalo is a very important man. I hope that he can come back”; he said in the interview monitored by OwnGoalNigeria editorial team.

“I put him in the bigger provisional first list for the next games, we are in touch. He is doing very well at his club and he still has the ambition to help his country.

Danielnino00:
You are always turning everything to comparison...

There's no player as good as Salah at the moment,yes.... But there are many players having enough impact at their clubs like Salah and Mane, and that includes our own players too.. So Rohr is totally wrong to have made that statement...
As a coach, you shouldn't be belittling your players, it can affect them psychologically on the pitch...It's like a father telling his children that they aren't good enough to measure up to their peers academically..It's wrong!

TheGoodJoe:

When Nigeria was to play Brazil in Atlanta 96, they had the likes of Bebeto, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Roberto Carlos. Of these names Ronaldo and Rivaldo went on to win the ballon d'or and Roberto Carlos finished runner up in voting.

Ze Carlos and Conceicao (he scored two goals against us) went on to okay for Real Madrid. Dida played for AC Milan.

We were up against some of the best players in the World. One thing was clear, our coaching crew and the players did not give a damn. We believed we could go against any team and beat them.

BascoVanVeli:
The coach has been doing that forever so that should not be a problem. We all sat back and allowed him to call a struggling Kelechi Iheanacho unprofessional so this isn't something that should upset anyone.

Kog45:
I remember Keshi press conference with journalists before Cote d' voire match Afcon 2013...he said I have Mikel,Enyeama when people were saying can your team beat Cote d'Voire team with Drogba,Yaya Toure.

Rohr just need to improve on his press statement when meeting better team,well what can one say about a coach that is ready to call Ighalo back despite having two good strikers doing it very well every weeks in Europe top five leagues.

Initially the World always see Nigeria as a very arrogant team cos we don't give a damn even if you have Messi and Ronaldo combined in a team but now that confidence is no longer there...the team just need that mentality back.
