Cameroon’s current form worries Rohr

Nigeria head coach, Gernot Rohr, is concerned about Cameroon’s rebirth at AFCON 2017 ahead of the FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers later this year in August.
The German trainer pitched camp in Gabon for three weeks monitoring the Indomitable Lions while also working as a television commentator.
He took notes at every Cameroon game and witnessed the return of a football giant to the top of African football as Nigeria’s neighbours and utmost arch-rivals lifted their fifth Afcon title.
Rohr said: “The road to Russia is very difficult because we must eliminate Cameroon so just like everyone can see now, Cameroon is a wonderful team.”
Nigeria sit top of the tough Group B with six points from two games ahead of Cameroon who have two points. Zambia and Algeria have only a point to show after two matches.
“We must work hard to go to Russia because in the two games against Cameroon, anything is possible. We must win our first game in Uyo and after we will see, but before that, we have another game to play against South Africa in the AFCON 2019 qualifiers.”
The Super Eagles have missed the last two AFCON editions after winning the title in 2013 and are desperate to qualify for the Russia showpiece as well as AFCON 2019 in Cameroon.
“We have strikers who can score but we must work a lot to be better. From what I saw at AFCON, Cameroon is a great team so we have to be very, very strong,” Rohr stated emphatically.
Rohr is, however, envious of Cameroon who played six games at AFCON 2017 and spent the past month and a half together in camp bonding as a team.
