It was a solid tactic that would help the Nigerian team keep their lead, but the tactic annoyed Jason to no end.
He had long noticed that the manager was a bit too defensive-minded and he usually only allowed the players to take liberties on the attack only at the beginning of the match before they had scored.
Once they took the lead, he always wanted them behind the ball, defending the lead.
He had overemphasized it in training, and Jason remembered it happening in the last international matches that he had been at.
It was normal for a coach to be scared of conceding, but Rohr took his fear of conceding to a whole new level.
This tactic might work well now, but it could potentially come to hurt them when they move on to a bigger stage where just staying behind a ball wasn't going to be enough to stop some teams.
