NIGERIA’S coach, Gernot Rohr, on Sunday described the duo of Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho as the future of Nigerian football after the two players scored in 2-1 win over Zambia in Ndola during a Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier.
‘’To come here and win is very important. It was a tough game but the bright spot is that two of the youngest players in today’s match scored,” Rohr said after the game.
“We have helped their careers by choosing them and they responded by scoring. If they keep their heads, they are going to be the future for Nigeria.’’
Rohr said the game was an improvement over his first match with the Eagles which his side won 1-0 over Tanzania.
‘Then we wasted a lot of opportunities and scored one, today we scored two against a strong team and on away ground, you can see that is an improvement’’.
