The Super Eagles are seeking their first win of the qualifying tournament and the Fulham midfielder stated that there will not be all nice even if Benin are now handled by former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.
It was the Franco-German coach Rohr who gave Iwobi his Super Eagles debut.
Rohr and his assistant Tunde Adelakun reunited with the Super Eagles at the Houphouet Boigny Stadium Sunday evening.
“We bumped into Gernot Rohr, nice seeing him and his staffs. Looks well but tomorrow (Monday) is war,” Iwobi proclaimed in a video he posted on Instagram
Kick-off time for this West African Derby is 5pm in Nigeria.
