Cameroon 1-0 Nigeria: "Why We Lost" - Rohr

Cameroon 1-0 Nigeria: "Why We Lost" - Rohr By Niyi Busari Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has stated that his team's 0-1 loss to Indomitable Lions of Cameroon was not as important as bringing new players into the team ahead of September World Cup qualifiers, BSNSports.com.ng can report. The Franco-German coach while speaking with the team media insisted that the Super Eagles played better than Cameroon but failure to convert their chances led to the slim loss. "The most important thing is not the result. It was a test match." Rohr said. "So, it was very interesting to see some new players. We missed seven or eight players and of course we have to manage the situation, we did well because we had seven shot on goal when they had only three. They had on target which resulted into the goal while we had six on the target. "Our domination was not realistic enough because we had to score in the beginning and we didn't and when you don't score, definitely your opponent may get a goal. "This evening, we have a good integration of new players three of them played for the first time for the Super Eagles. We lost unfortunately two other players to injury and that will make it more difficult for us in the second game because Ekong and Colins will not play. "We have to manage the situation but this opportunity is to play with defenders only and to change and do something different. Like I said, the result is not the most important thing the important thing is to learn, test new players and for the competition to be efficient in the World Cup qualifiers in September." He concluded
