AFCON: Moses Simon Speaks On Why Super Eagles Improved Under Eguavoen

Moses Simon has spoken on why the Super Eagles have improved under Eguavoen.

Glamtush reports that Super Eagles attacker, Moses Simon, has given reasons for the improvement in the team’s performance under Austin Eguavoen.

This online platform understands that he said this while fielding questions from reporters in Garoua on Friday.

According to him, Eguavoen allows players to display their talents freely.

Simon explained that Rohr wanted things done in a particular way.

Moses Simon said, “Of course, It was my best performance in the last two years. You know we changed the coach and, of course, the tactics. So every coach has his own mentality and how he impacts players.

“With the previous coach, I played on his instructions, but the current coach gives the freedom and allows us to bring our style of play at our clubs.”

Nigeria succeeded after a troubled build-up in which German coach Gernot Rohr was fired following an unimpressive World Cup qualifying run and former national star Eguavoen took temporary charge.

The Nigeria Football Federation appointed Eguavoen as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles on an interim basis after sacking Franco-German Gernot Rohr in December 2021.

Recall that Eguavoen’s squad was without forwards Victor Osimhen, Emmanuel Dennis and Odion Ighalo for a variety of reasons, but his team went on the offensive from the kick-off and did him proud against Egypt, winning 1-0.

Speedy winger Moses Simon played a major role when the Super Eagles took the lead at the 30,000-capacity stadium.

Super Eagles will play their second game against the Falcons of Jediane (Sudan) at the Stade Roumdé Adjia in Garoua.
