Super
eagles coach, Gernot Rohr will not select players from the NPFL for the
Super Eagles. Rohr who hails from Germany scouted top goalscorer
Stephen Odey of MFM FC last weekend. Gernot Rohr believes the best
players from the league always move to foreign clubs Super Eagles coach,
Gernot Rohr has suggested he would not pick players from the Nigeria
Professional Football League (NPFL).
The German says the best players
from Nigeria are not within the shores of the country but abroad.
His
latest comments could be a huge blow to the likes of Stephen Odey the
current top goal scorer in the NPFL who Rohr scouted last weekend.
We
recalled that the Super Eagles play two friendly games in France next
month before taking on South Africa in the 2019 AFCON qualifiers on June 10.
The team would then face AFCON 2017 winners the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in back to back 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Rohr told Own Goal: “We have players we want to test with the upcoming friendlies.
“We
will also look at some areas of the team that needs strengthening
during the games, so we won’t call up players for the sake of it. “Right
now the best Nigerian players are in Europe. When a player is playing
well at home he wants to go to Europe.”
