Rohr must work on Iheanacho, says Obuh

Rohr must work on Iheanacho, says Obuh

Former Nigeria U20 coach John Obuh has urged Gernot Rohr to work on Kelechi Iheanacho’s psychology and temperament to improve the Manchester City forward’s scoring form.

The 21-year-old had missed scoring chances before scoring from the spot to earn the Super Eagles a 1-1 draw against Senegal to preserve team’s unbeaten run.

“It is very difficult to comment on a game you were not able to see live,” Obuh said.

“But based on what I heard, I think 1-1 is still okay because we are still enjoying the euphoria of Rohr not losing a game. Either by luck, he is still keeping intact the unbeaten run. We can take solace in their form. Showing they are working hard for us to qualify for the World Cup.

“Considering the team we played who is above us in the ranking. I think we are on course. I will advise him to try to make sure 70 percent of his players play together more and more.

“If any new player is coming, let him try as much as possible to observe very well with too many changes because continuity will be helpful in his success.
