Meanwhile, Coach Gernot Rohr has admitted that the Super Eagles must be on the attack against Argentina in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday and diligently take the chances that come their way against the two –time World Cup winners.

“It will be a tough game and we must go with a tough mentality from the start to the end.”
