Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has expressed shock over non- inclusion of super eagles players in the African X1 selection by the Confederation of Africa Football  (CAF ) which was announced at the CAF Gala Night Award held in Dakar, Senegal.

The Levante player in a chat with Sportinglife said the decision of the committee not to find any Eagles player worthy to be among the Africa eleven is laughable and questionable.

“Frankly it is not about sentiment, Ndidi merited to be there even Troost Ekong. I was also surprised that the young player award didn’t go the Ndidi rather Achraf Hakimi from Morocco got the award but all the same, Super Eagles missing out 2018 CAF Award is for us to work hard this year to clinch the Nations Cup billed to hold in Egypt”, said Simon

He also described the Super Eagles Manager Gernot Rohr as a father who knows how to bring the best in any player called to camp.
