Rohr stated that it will be difficult for the three times African champions to reach the AFCON last four because of the quality of the host nation.Nigeria will tackle Senegal in their final friendly on Sunday ahead of their AFCON opener against Burundi on June 22.
”For our fans, of course, it is clear that we will reach at least the semi-final. But that will be difficult because Egypt is a force at home,” Rohr told Mannheimer Morgen.”The Africa Cup is something very special in terms of ambience and significance. Of course we want to do well. “We must underestimate no opponent. Burundi, for example, eliminated Gabon in qualifying. It means being careful.”
Fine. So, semi final is our Target. Anything beyond it is an extra!
