...Rohr Wary of Libya in Tunisia, believes the result will come his way [caption id="attachment_5407" align="alignnone" width="300"] Super Eagles pose for press[/caption] By Niyi Busari Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has stated that that he expects his players to play with more relaxed minds and focused on getting on getting a positive result against Libya in Tunisia on Tuesday in the African Nations cup qualifier. Rohr disclosed that he has charged his players to go all out against Libya having won the first leg 4-0 in Uyo on Saturday evening. He hinted that even though the venue of the second leg in Tunisia is close to the border that separates Libya from Tunisia, he doesn't expect much of their supporters to make the trip because the level of their support won't be equated if the game had taken place in Tripoli. "Libya have decided to play against us in Tunisia. Sfax is not far from the Libyan border. The fans can come but I don't envisage a big crowd for Libya," Rohr disclosed in a chat. "It may perhaps a slight advantage for us and I hope it will enable my players to play with relaxed minds. The Libyan are used to playing like that for some years now because of their political situation back home. They have beaten big teams and even drew against Tunisia away in one of their previous matches."
