NPL-AllStars form delights Rohr


SUPER Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has expressed his pleasure with the performance of the NPFL All Stars team in spite of their 4-1 loss to Malaga.
The German, who was appointed coach of the national only less than a week ago was in Cadiz to watch the game and said the loss of the Enyimba players definitely affected their play.
“I’m aware that some players had to leave before the game and again the wind was strong so I wouldn’t really take much away from them,’ Rohr said.
“It was a real difficult game for this young team and it could not have been easy against a Spanish side. I really hope next time would be better,” he said.
The German added that the NPFL All Stars side was a good representation of the Nigerian league and he would be watching league games from now on.
“It is a good representation of the Nigerian league and its good to have it in Spain for international exposure. I will be coming to watch some Nigerian league games very soon too.”
