Rohr switches to 3-5-2
Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr has switched to a 3-5-2 formation for the friendly game against Argentina on Tuesday, November 14.
For the game, Rohr recalls Captain John Mikel Obi and also includes Nantes defender Chidozie Awaziem.
Mikel did not play in their 1-1 draw against Algeria on Friday, November 10 while Awaziem has not kicked a ball for the Super Eagles since that shocking 2-0 home loss to South Africa back in June.
Super Eagles starting XI Vs Argentina
Awaziem joins the ‘Oyinbo Wall’ partnership of Leon Balogun and William Ekong-Troost in a three-man defence.
Shehu Abdullahi and Ola Aina are the wing-backs.
In midfield are Wilfred Ndidi, John Ogu and Mikel while Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho lead the attack.
This is the first time Rohr will be using the three-man defence since he became Super Eagles boss.
This is however not the first time a coach will be adopting this system with the Super Eagles.
Back in 1997, then Super Eagles coach Philippe Troussier used it during the qualifiers for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
