Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr has revealed that his focus is on winning matches, amid plenty of criticism on his team playing style.
The three-time African champions are one victory away from advancing to the next round of the World Cup qualifier.
Rohr, speaking during his pre-match press conference ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Cape Verde, said his focus was on his team winning games.
“I don’t go to social media what is important is to watch games, analyze games and try to win games. I don’t waste my time listening to people who always say everything about the team is bad.
“We are top of the group, two points ahead, won four games from five and we are in a good situation ahead of tomorrow and our players are very hungry to perform.
“We know we have a good team and we are able to play good football and score goals. We have players who can score, we have players who can give assist, players who can defend well and I hope everything will work well tomorrow,” he said.
He added: “We want to be effective again and what I appreciate a lot in Morocco was that we didn’t concede opportunities for Liberia to score which is important for us. And now is for us to have better fluidity going forward. The two goals we scored were penalties but I am happy with our last two games.”
The Eagles, top in Group C with 12 points, need only a point to advance into the play-off round, while Cape Verde will need nothing short of victory at the Teslim Balogun Stadium Lagos to boost their chances of reaching the tournament for the first time.
