Rohr hails tactics as Zambia coach rues ill-luck
Super Eagles Manager, Gernot Rohr, has attributed the team’s victory over Zambia to tactical discipline of the players to his instructions.
The Eagles not particularly good with away games were out fighting and they grabbed two crucial goals to lead 2-0 at half time.
“The two first half goals helped us. We approached the second half with the advantage of the first. I am not surprised we won, I know the Zambians very well and that was an advantage for us.
“We fought all through the match because of the harsh weather. I commend the players for getting the three points which is most crucial for the team.” Rohr said
The German added that the score of the game was reflection of proceedings.
Meanwhile, Zambia coach, Wedson Nyiranda, said Nigeria was lucky with the 2-1 victory recorded against his side.
