Rohr: Super Eagles need only 11 points to qualify for 2018 world cup

Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has said that 11 points will be enough, for Nigeria to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The Eagles began the quest to play in their sixth World Cup, with a 2-1 win over Zambia in Ndola on Sunday .

Nigeria currently lead the group with three points, after Algeria played out a 1-1 draw with Cameroon in Blida.

“I think we need 11 points to be first of the group, but all the teams have a good chance to qualify (for the World Cup),” Rohr said at a press briefing.

“We all know that it is very difficult to win a game in the qualifiers especially away in the first game. But we did it.”

Ahead of their second fixture in the group against Algeria on November 12, the German conceded there is a lot of things to improve on.
