Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, says he is disappointed by his Libyan counterpart, Adel Amrouche, over derogatory comments about his team.
Following his side’s scoreless draw with South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier, Amrouche claimed Nigeria was better at sorcery than football..
“For me, Bafana they have fantastic players and its not easy to play Bafana Bafana,” he began.
“I am ready for Nigeria, if they want to play two times in Nigeria, we play two times in Nigeria. They believe in juju too much, and we believe on God. It’s not easy to play in South Africa.”
Instead of firing back, Rohr has calmly opted out of the Algerian’s mind games.
“We are not moved by his mind games. It won’t deter us from preparing very hard against the Libyans,” the German told Footballive.
“I’m disappointed in the fact that such comments will come from a coach of his calibre.”
“There is no point engaging Adel on the Pages of Newspaper or the Social Media. We will take care of his team at the battlefield.”
Nigeria will face the Mediterranean Knights over both legs with the first to be held at home.
Amrouche’s team currently lead the group with four points.
