Good for a new starter in a new league
More of that Moses.
I am seriously praying for Moses Simon to rediscover the form that made the toast of Trencin and Gent.
So far, the signs are good.
The Super Eagles have the potentials to achieve great(er) things in the next 3 seasons and I see Moses Simon playing in a huge role in this ‘project’.
He is gradually becoming one of the more experienced members of the squad; his application will prove to be pivotal in propelling the Super Eagles to the next level.
The goal is scored over the weekend, on his debut, was made to look easier than it actually was.
Going to the blind spot of the defender to anticipate, time and then latch on to a through ball before calmly placing it behind a well placed goalkeeper was masterclass.
