Augustine Eguavoen has named Moses Simon as the most exciting player so far in the Super Eagles team.

The interim coach warned his players that it was not about individual performances but teamwork.

The Nantes of France winger scored one goal and provided an assist in the three group games against Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau.

The France-based forward has lit up Cameroon with his dribbling and pace on the left flank.

Fielding questions from the press ahead of Super Eagles’ clash against Tunisia on Sunday evening, the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winner, said, “Thank God we have someone who is very exciting, you know him, Moses Simon.

“The team is working as a team, we don’t want to focus on individual players.

“When you have a chance to assist, assist, when you have a chance to score, score, so it’s the same message to Ndidi, Simon, Ekong, to everyone so there is no special tactics or strategy it’s the same way we approach the entire games.”

Uganda head coach Paul Put has outlined three key areas his side must focus on to secure victory against Nigeria when both teams clash in Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie.

Put’s side must claim all three points against the Super Eagles or risk an early exit from the competition. The Cranes have just one point in Group C after their opening two matches.
A win against Nigeria could see Uganda qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Put said that for Uganda to overcome Eric Chelle’s side, they must “concentrate be very prepared and win their duels” against Nigeria.

“We have to go for it [win against Nigeria] and we will do it,” Put said.

“Nigerians play at a high level in Europe, so we have to be very concentrated, very prepared and win our duels, which is one of the strong points of Nigeria.”
