Simon said this while comparing Rohr to Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen.
The Nantes star said that Rohr gave him the opportunity to show himself, adding that the German tactician believed in him.Speaking ahead of Nigeria’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, Round of 16 tie with Tunisia on Sunday night, Simon said as quoted by NAN, “With the former coach [Rohr] I played as a wing-back and sometimes, left-back and of course, I am grateful for that because he gave me the opportunity to show myself and he believed in me.
“But with this present coach [Eguavoen], he gave me the freedom of attacking and said you just go and do your thing and defend less.” Simon has been a terror for defenders at the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon, with his dribbling and pace on the left flank in the Super Eagles squad. The 26-year-old has scored one goal and registered one assist in three games for Eguavoen’s men and was named in CAF’s best XI of 2021 AFCON group stage.
