Rohr takes Eagles on penalty lessons vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
As the crucial round of 16 encounter between Nigeria and Cameroon draws nearer, the Super Eagles have started perfecting the act of penalty kicks in the case the match on Saturday ends in deadlock.
A camp source disclosed that Gernot Rohr started plotting strategies for the knockout stages moments after the last group stage match on Sunday. “When we started, we were able to achieve 65 percent hit on target three percent against the post and the rest was an outright miss but now the percentage has improved to 92 percent. This means going into shoot-out in Saturday’s match should be positive to the team if all the selected players are in their right frame of mind towards the kick,” an official of the team disclosed yesterday.
“At random, I cannot say whom among the three goalkeepers is our best bet for the match if we go into shoot outs. All the three have their shares of stopping penalty kicks with no clear dominance of anyone”, he said.
