Afcon 2019: I know Super Eagles will rise to the occasion against Algeria - Rohr

Coach Gernot Rohr believes there is plenty of confidence within Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) title-chasing squad as they face Algeria on Sunday evening.

Rohr led the Super Eagles to a 3-1 victory over the North Africans in a 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier and will look that experience to inspire the team.

On the other hand, Djamel Belmadi’s men go into this clash with revenge on their minds.

“We were always relaxed even when we lost to Madagascar because I know my team can do very well and they will rise to the occasion during important games,” he told Goal.
