NFF’s target for Rohr will put positive pressure on Eagles, says Baruwa

Former Super Eagles Goalkeeper, Abiodun Baruwa, believes the Nigeria Football

Federation (NFF) has done the Super Eagles a world of good by insisting that Coach Gernot Rohr must win the Cameroun 2021 Nations Cup and also excel at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Speaking at the weekend from his base in London, Baruwa said the target given to Rohr was a clear signal that the federation expected better from him than his past performance in his new contract.

He said, “I don’t think the Nations Cup target will put Rohr under unnecessary pressure as some people have said.

“The federation left homegrown coaches to hire and pay him an attractive salary because they expect him to win laurels for the country. It is a good pressure on the coach and players to win AFCON and excel at the World Cup because the NFF wants the team to succeed. (Guardian)
