Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has said he would love to see his wards play against defending FIFA World Cup and Confederations Cup champions, Germany to give the Eagles a taste of what to expect at Russia 2018.

Rohr who has asked the Nigeria Football Federation to arrange for friendly matches in FIFA windows of November, March and May, stated that he has already notified the Germans of his desire to play a friendly against them before the World Cup.

“We have already told Germany that we will like to play them in any of the FIFA International friendly windows between May and June provided we are not in the same World Cup group,” he said.

“I have told the NFF president to get us a friendly match to be played in Abuja to show them the 23 players selected for the World Cup and to say goodbye before leaving for Russia,” Rohr said. The World Cup draw will be staged on December 1 in Russia. The 2018 World Cup will be from June 14 to July 15.
