AFCON 2019: Algeria Deserved Semi-Final Win, Says Rohr

FILE PHOTO: Nigeria’s coach Gernot Rohr gestures as he speaks during a press conference at the Yessentuki Arena, in Yessentuki, in southern Russia, on June 13, 2018. PHOTO: PIUS UTOMI EKPEI / AFPNigeria coach Gernot Rohr said Algeria were worthy winners after Riyad Mahrez’s last-gasp free-kick sent his team through to a first Africa Cup of Nations final in 29 years.

“It was a big fight until the last minute. Algeria did better in the first half than us but we came back in the second half and we conceded this goal in the last minute,” said Rohr.“I think the players wanted to go to extra time and believed Algeria would be tired and they could win in it extra time.”

Sure, because you had already spoiled the game by benched Olaina and Leon Balogun ahead of school boy played( Ekong)

Hummm😭😭😭

Truth is bitter

Nigeria didn't deserve it abi.....Oga accept defeat

i won't blame the coach...Algeria were too good they played English football....

يجب ع هذ الحمق أن يرحل من المنتخب و جلب مدرب وطني نيجيريا لا تستحق هذ الخسارة امام الجزائر أمس يوجد شخص كا ؟ كالون

And you deserve to be sacked. You are technically incapacited. Clueless coach

He's right isn't he?

Well done Rohr. We showed a lot of what our team has lacked in years.. Fighting spirit.. We were on course to the final until the last minute. Nigerians fail to realize that we were fought back against a technically and tactically superior side.. Continue your good work.

This man should not come back to Nigeria sha

His techquical incompetent cost us the match

He knows what he did. Stupid coach that does not know who to change and when to change.

Fail to perform

Wrong subtition kills the match

This Man Have Smoke Big Weed For Saying Dis Trash, Someone Shud Give Him A Hard Knock On His Skull Head

SACK HIM ALREADY, tactically inept and NFA should hire a better coach.

The clueless couch should b sacked

Why Mr Rohr

They truly did.

You got your substitution wrong man

What did you say? 🙄🙄
