AFCON 2021: Rohr names ‘crucial gamer’ in Super Eagles team

Former Nigeria coach, Gernot Rohr, has actually determined Moses Simon as an’ essential player’in the Super

Eagles team. Rohr explained Moses as a perfect gentleman, including that he enjoys the gamer’s

attitude. The German exposed that when he supervised of the Super Eagles, a great deal of people desired him to drop Simon from his squad.

Remember that the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) just recently sacked Rohr and appointed Jose Peseiro as the new long-term handler of the Super Eagles.

Interim Super Eagles coach, Austin Eguavoen will turn over to Peseiro after the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.

“When I was coach, a lot of people wanted me to drop him [Moses Simon], but he is extremely essential to my group,” Rohr said on Canal Plus TV ahead of Nigeria’s 2021 AFCON tie with Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday.

“He puts the team initially and bets all with ease.

“I love his mindset on the pitch and he’s a perfect gentleman off the pitch. I never ever doubted him.”

Simon has actually gotten lots of applauds for his efficiencies for the Super Eagles up until now at the continuous 2021 AFCON.

The winger was named male of the match in Nigeria’s 3-1 win against Sudan last Saturday.
