Rohr backs Falcons to retain AWCON title

Super Eagles Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has backed the Super Falcons to defend the 10th Women Africa Cup of Nations billed for November 19th to December 13th in Cameroon.

Rohr who was at the Falcons training on Wednesday afternoon charged the Falcons to live together like one big family for them to be able to successfully defend the African title, which they won for the seventh time in Namibia in October 2014.

“You must have a good team spirit because it is very important to not just play together but bond together and have fun in training and in the camp as well.

“To have fun but to be very serious. It is what we do in the Super Eagles team. We have the family spirit of oneness and togetherness. Not just like a team but to live like a family. With this, you can become champions again. And I am going to be in Cameroon to support you.

“I see some girls here today but I know that professionals will join them very soon. Very good players, some of them play in big countries like USA, Sweden, France. The other teams in Nigeria group don’t have many of such players I think. So, it’s a good team and you also have experience,” Rohr concluded
