Leicester City Striker Iheanacho Suffering From 'Lack Of Self-Confidence'- Nigeria Coach Gernot Rohr

The form of the 22-year-old has dipped recently but the Super Eagles boss is confident that the attacker will recover from the setback.

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr believes Kelechi Iheanacho is suffering from ‘lack of self-confidence’.

The forward who started his senior international career brightly, scoring seven goals in 11 appearances has failed to find the net for the three-time African champions since November 2017.

During the last international break, Iheanacho missed a gilt-edged chance to give the Super Eagles a lead against South Africa in a crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers tie.

His performance for his Premier League club has also not been impressive having failed to score in his last eight games across all competitions.

However, the German tactician has backed the former Manchester City prodigy to rediscover his confidence for Leicester and make an impact for the Super Eagles in Cameroon.
"We have all seen how Iheanacho has been playing for the national team. He is a good player and his fighting spirit is exceptional," Rohr told media.

"But of late, his form has dropped. So also has his self-confidence, which is very low. And when you lack self-confidence you cannot score goals.

"He missed what would have been our first goal in South Africa. But I believe it is a temporary set-back .

"Iheanacho has a chance to regain his confidence with his club and play a big role for us in Cameroon.”

Iheanacho was a 70th-minute substitute in Saturday's Premier League fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion, helping Leicester secure a 1-1 draw after winning a late penalty that was converted by strike partner Jamie Vardy.

The sit-up is an effective exercise for anyone who wants to train both the abdominals and hip flexors. However, it’s also been shown to impose extremely large compression forces on the discs in your spine. That’s a problem. Bend a wire coat hanger back and forth and, eventually, it will snap. You can’t predict in advance exactly how many bends it will take before it breaks. But you know it’s going to happen sooner or later. Likewise, the discs in your spine can only tolerate so many bending cycles before the accumulated damage manifests itself in the form of pain. Sit-ups may not damage your spine right away. But each set could be moving you one step closer to a crippling back injury that keeps you out of the gym for some time. There are also better abs exercises to choose from. In fact, certain exercises have been shown, in some studies anyway, to work the abdominal muscles harder than sit-ups. These abdominal exercises not only work your stomach muscles but they increase the st...

Bananas are good for bowel regularity and satiety Adding a banana to your daily diet has an array of benefits in your body.
