My thoughts are with Nigeria, says Rohr
TRACKING_____German coach Gernot Rohr has yet offered a solidarity message to Nigerian and indeed fans of the Super Eagles in the wake of destruction and looting across the country occasioned by widespread protests by young people over police brutality and the disbandment of a notorious police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The 67-year-old former Bayern Munich defender said he was hopeful that the country would overcome the current challenges even as he rallied support for the Super Eagles ahead of next month’s double head Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Sierra Leone.
“We have a big solidarity in the Super Eagles for our fans, so my thoughts are with Nigeria at this difficult times,” Rohr told NationSport from his base in France.“ I hope everything will be settled very soon; Nigerians need to refocus now.
“ Of course, we would come together soon and I know that youths need fun that sports provide and I hope everything would be alright once football returns.”
He added: “ It’s not only Nigeria that is facing challenges because here in France, there is also a protest against beheading of teacher because of religious cartoons. I hope everyone would be protected after these unfortunate incidents. “
The Rohr-led Super Eagles who had two international friendly matches against Algeria and Tunisia in Austria, are expected to meet Sierra Leone at home on 9th November with the reverse fixture on 14th November.
“ But the family (Super Eagles) has to be strong in order to do our job together and help each other after the protest and COVID-19 pandemic ,” noted Rohr.
