Former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has revealed that some people did not want him to call up Moses Simon during his time in charge.
Simon, like many in the team, has stepped up his game during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The winger has been a handful for defenders so far and many have questioned where these performances were during Rohr's tenure in charge of the Eagles.
The Nantes of France winger was named man of the match in Nigeria’s second group game against Sudan where he bagged a goal and an assist.
