SIMON MOSES: EGUAVOEN GIVES US FREEDOM OF EXPRESSING OURSELVES ON THE PITCH

Moses Simon: Unlike Rohr, Eguavoen allows me to play with freedom

Moses Simon, Super Eagles winger, has attributed his improved performance at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to the “freedom” bestowed upon him by Austin Eguavoen.

Simon was the most outstanding performer for the Eagles in their 1-0 victory over Egypt on Tuesday.

He was a willing outlet on the team’s left-wing throughout his entire stay on the pitch, contributing to the lone goal that secured the match for Nigeria.

Simon was a menace to the Pharaohs’ defence, with persistent take-ons that the defenders failed to curtail. His performance earned him a bigh score in analysts' rating of the Eagles.

Speaking to reporters in Garoua on Friday, Simon said he has been given the “freedom to produce” as he does at his club.

Simon said under Gernot Rohr, the former coach, he had to play to instructions.

“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,” he said.

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.”

Super Eagles lead the pack in Group D with three points and will be hoping for another win to book a place in the second round when they face Sudan on Saturday at 5pm.

Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the same of time. It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors.

It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric
