Super Eagles coach Gernot Roh has rejected the idea that the opponents of Nigeria for the world cup qualifier is a walk over for them. Bsnsports.com.ng reports
The three times African champions on Tuesday were grouped together with Cape Verde, Central African Republic and Liberia in Group C.
This grouping has led to opinions that the super eagles has been handed an easy draw; but Gernot Rohr has opposed that saying his team has drawn against tricky sides.
“We have three tricky opponents in Group C. A few years ago, Cape Verde were Africa’s best Fifa ranked team, CAR have some good players in Europe,” he said, as per Super Eagles Twitter.
“We played a friendly in Liberia recently that wasn’t easy…we’ve to be at our best against them.”
The Super Eagles will hope to secure their spot in the World Cup for the seventh time.
