Manager Gernot Rohr has stated that the Super Eagles are no favourites to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Speaking on the backdrop of beating former World champions, Argentina, and highly rated Polish team in friendlies, the Franco-German said victories do not guarantee Nigeria winning the global fiesta in Russia.
According to the gaffer: “This team is a young team but also a team of leaders.
“If we stay humble and continue to work hard to improve our play, we have huge potentials, but beating two FIFA top 10 teams in friendlies doesn’t mean we are now World Cup favourites.
“We were lucky to have won this game against a very solid Polish side.
“They created some big opportunities to score and were dangerous from set pieces that we found difficult to cope with but I praise my team for their victory.”
Victor Moses grabbed the winner for Nigeria from a spot kick after the winger was brought down in the 60th minute of the tie.
The Nigerian side will do battle with their Serbian counterparts in another friendly in London on Tuesday.
