Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has admitted he has got plenty of work to do in building a formidable senior male national team for the country ahead of the Algeria showdown this weekend.

After he led the Super Eagles to record back-to-back victories against Tanzania and Zambia, the excited German trainer insists his side will take the morale-boosting start to Algeria in their 2018 World Cup qualifier match on Saturday.

“I believe all the games in this group will be difficult to win because all the four teams are very strong,” Rohr told Cafonline.

“Algeria which is the number one team in Africa must be disappointed for dropping points at home against Cameroon. They will come to Uyo very well prepared against us.

“So mathematically, it was a good operation for us that we won in Ndola; and we are the only teams that have three points after the first round of matches.

“The preparation has been to look at our players in their clubs because we cannot play any friendly match. We have to analyze the matches and we also have to keep eyes on our players because we have started building a new team with many young players.

“It was good we have two wins after two matches (Tanzania and Zambia) which are good for our confidence but there is still a lot of work to do,” he concluded.

With three points atop of Group B, Rohr will be anxious to inspire his team to ground out a victory against the Greens at the Godswill Apkabio Stadium in Uyo.
