Gernot Rohr who is the handler of the Super Eagles of Nigeria has stated clearly that the three-time African champions are not groomed enough to win the FIFA World Cup.
In the history of the competition which is being organized every four years, no African nation has ever won the championship despite their efforts.
Ghana reached the quarterfinals in 2010 when the World Cup was held in South Africa, but Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez’s handball made the African not to reach the last four against Uruguay.
Nigeria on the other hand have never reached the knockout stages in all their World Cup campaign even though they almost at the 2018 edition in Russia.
According to the report on Complete Sports, Gernot Rohr who took Super Eagles to 2018 World Cup explained that only a miracle can help Nigeria win the title.
The German explained that most of his players are not playing for top European clubs which will make it difficult for them to compete with other nations.
“France is the champions at the moment, where they are playing? They are playing in PSG, Bayern Munich. Four of them are world champions at their clubs also.
“So when you have so many of your players from your countries playing in the best clubs, so the probability that you also have one of the best teams in the world is very big.
“So it would be a miracle if we actually win the World Cup.”
