Gernot Rohr says the Super Eagles have to improve defensively if they are to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking after Nigeria’s 3 – 1 win over Algeria on Saturday, Rohr expressed joy at the victory but warned the defense must improved.

The German also lamented the number of chances the likes of Riyad and Yacine Brahimi were allowed to create in the second half.
“The only problems we had during the game were the chances Algeria were creating in the second half,” Rohr told media.
“It was tough stopping the Algerians but our defenders showed solidarity and we held on. It’s clear that we must improve our defence.”

The 63-year-odl also gave his thoughts on the problematic right back position for the Super Eagles.
“We have tried three different players at right-back; they have done their best but we have to continue to find the ideal players for the defence.
“We will improve. I’m happy though that we’re strong offensively.”
John Obi Mikel’s goal sandwiched by Victor Moses’ brace secured a much deserved three points for the Super Eagles with Nabil Bentaleb’s long range effort proving a mere consolation for Georges Leekens’ side.
