I’m ready to sacrifice myself for the team – Captain
The Super Eagles’ coach, Gernot Rohr, has stated that the position that Mikel Obi plays was not the reason Nigeria lost its match against Croatia.
Following the 2-nill drubbing of Nigeria by Croatia, many soccer loving Nigerians have reserved the harshest remarks for the Super Eagles and their handlers.
Many sports analysts believed that Nigeria lost the match from the bench rather than the pitch and blamed the head coach for some glaring technical mistakes.
Rohr said, “There should be sacrifice. Etebo playing number 6 doing very well. There was Ndidi playing number 6, doing very very well. Do you want us to play with 3 number 6?”
While defending the position that Mikel played in the match against Croatia, Rohr said, “We’ve won all our games in Nigeria in the last two years. This Obi Mikel in this attacking position is giving the size of passes. Remember against Cameroon, we won 4-0.
“It was exactly the same organisation. So, if you had played with Mikel as number 6, and another one, number 10, and you lost the game, you would ask the same question, ‘Why did you change now and you make him play number 6? You won all the games with him in number 10.
