Super Eagles players
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr feels the England team will not be at full throttle when they battle Nigeria in a pre-World Cup friendly at the National Stadium in London on June 2, 2018.
The German noted that there are no winter-breaks in the Premier League and the Three Lions stars will be tired after a demanding season, with some of the players also featuring in the Champions League, Europa League, League Cup and FA Cup.
”It is also a very young team, for me this team can do very well in the World Cup,” Rohr said to ExtraTimeSoccerLive.
”The problem with the English team is that the season is so long, in June it is not so easy for them to be at the top level.
”I think they are well prepared, they have some young players who can recover very quickly.
”The game is at Wembley, the temple of football. This is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. For us it is a wonderful adventure to go there.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Ola Aina, a former England U19 skipper, is understandably looking forward to the clash at Wembley.
”Two young squads definitely going against each other will be an exciting game, you will see a lot of opportunities for both sides as well.
”As for predictions and scoreline, we don’t know what is going to happen on the day and you all know football is a funny game.
”By God’s grace things go our way. As a group we take things step by step. When the 2nd of June comes we will face it head-on,” concluded Ola Aina.
