Former coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says the duo of Moses Simon and Alex Iwobi don’t get the respect they deserve for their contribution to the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi and Paris FC winger Moses Simon are part of the team that is presently in camp in preparation for tomorrow’s high profile friendly game against world cup bound Portugal.
Both players were key to his team during his time as coach of the Nigerian team, and as Iwobi close in on his 100th cap and Simon set to get his 99th cap tomorrow, Rohr says they deserve to be respected.
” Iwobi and Simon are always available and give their best always. Ready to play in multiple roles for the team. They don’t get the respect they deserve for what they have done for the senior national team of Nigeria”, the head coach of Benin Republic said.
” I see Iwobi getting a 100 caps and that’s not a small number to have in a National team and Simon is also close to that milestone. They have really made Super Eagles better and I tell them congratulations for this milestone and wish them many more in the coming years”, he stated.
