Former Eagles defensive stalwart Yisa Sofoluwe says Gernot Rohr needs more intelligent defenders to execute his style of play.

Although the former Eagles player identified Shehu Abdullahi for special praise, he was critical of Rohr’s selection overtime and insists the team lacks proper ball playing defenders as the coach would hope.

In a chat with brila.net Sofoluwe, who played as side back and earned 40 caps for Nigeria, expressed concerns with the defensive players Rohr has at his disposal, stressing the need find players who are better suited to the style.
