Super Eagles Technical adviser Gernot Rohr has finally responded to Libya Chief Coach Adel Amrouch’s comments tagging it has ‘unnecessary’ mind games.
The Franco-German tactician in a chat with brila.net stated that he will not be drawn into the temptation of engaging coach Adel Amrouch in mind games ahead of Nigeria’s next AFCON qualifying tie.
Libya national team coach Amrouch had boasted earlier that he wouldn’t mind playing Nigeria twice in Nigeria and that Nigeria relies on juju to play football.
However, Amrouch in a subsequent interview has apologized for the comments regarding Juju, saying he was only making jokes and he didn’t mean what he said.
Rohr says the Eagles will simply go about their normal preparation and take care of business against the Libyans when the time comes.
