Former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has revealed two major concerns regarding the Cameroon national team ahead of their encounter with Nigeria in the round of 16 of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Rohr has pointed out that Cameroon’s defence has been struggling in the group stage, conceding six goals in three matches, which translates to an average of two goals per game.
This could potentially pose a problem for the Indomitable Lions as they prepare to face the Super Eagles.
Additionally, Gernot Rohr has highlighted a strained relationship between Cameroon’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, and manager, Rigobert Song, which could affect the team’s overall performance.
Despite these concerns, Gernot Rohr has expressed confidence in Nigeria’s ability to secure a victory against Cameroon, just as they did in the last 16 of the 2019 AFCON.
“They have the best player in Africa so I’m sure they will qualify but it will be difficult of course because Cameroon is becoming strong again with this victory against the Gambia in the last minute but they still have little defensive problems,” Rohr said to The Guardian UK reporter Osasu Obayiuwana.
“They have problems inside the group, the goalkeeper relationship. Nigeria must avoid these problems.”
