Battle Of Alexandria : Rohr Reveals The One Advantage Super Eagles Have Over Cameroon
Published: July 04, 2019Looking ahead to the intriguing Africa Cup of Nations clash against Cameroon, manager Gernot Rohr has highlighted that the Super Eagles have one advantage over the defending champions.
Nigeria's upcoming fixture takes place six days after their last game in the group stage vs Madagascar while Cameroon were in action on Tuesday, meaning they have only three days to prepare for the titanic battle.
''We have this little advantage that they played on Tuesday and we played on Sunday, so let us try to have an advantage physically and also mentally because everybody wants to do very well now,'' Rohr told the Super Eagles Media team.
Nigeria hold a strong lead over Cameroon in head-to-head matches and have not lost to the five-time African champions in regulation time since 1989.
Rohr believes all the omens point to another Nigeria win as they thrashed Cameroon in their next game after losing 2-0 to South Africa in 2017.
''There is something similar, we lost 2-0 at home to South Africa and then there was a Cameroon game. Now we lost against Madagascar 2-0 and it's again Cameroon, so it can be a good omen, I hope so.
''Everybody wants to do well especially after this disappointment against Madagascar, we changed the team, we wanted to play with some other players to keep them in the rhythm of the competition.
''Now the best team has to start and to do the best to make Nigerians proud.''
