Nigeria: 'Rohr's Super Eagles Need African Football Mentality to Beat Indomitable Lions'

Former Super Eagles Goalkeeper, Ike Shorunmu has called on the Gernot Rohr-tutored senior national team to learn to play the African way if they desired to beat Cameroun in their 2018 World Cup qualifying series' double-header in late August and early September.

Nigeria will host Cameroun at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium Uyo on August 28 and move to Yaoundé for the reverse fixture a week later.Speaking on the games against Cameroun, Shorunmu said the Eagles would not be able to beat any team in the African qualifiers if they approached the remaining games with European mentality. He said that the Eagles need to add aggression to their game to survive the Camerounians at home, stressing that the team needs a psychologist to work on the mentality of the players in the European leagues before their next game.
