Coach of French Ligue 1 side Nantes Antoine Kombouare says the club know it’s impossible for them to persuade Moses Simon to shun representing Nigeria at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations next year in Cameroon.
The tournament was shifted to next year with Nigeria among the teams set to take part. It has already set some of their key players against their clubs in Europe, who see the period of the tournament as crucial in the quest to achieve their goals for the season.
Simon is seen as the one who makes things work for Ligue 1 side Nantes with his five assists the highest in the league so far. His departure is one that the club is unhappy about but they are helpless according to the coach of the team.
” He (Simon) loves to play for Nigeria . We wish we can keep him because it’s hard to imagine our team without him but we know it’s impossible. So we will accept it as one of the things in life that one can’t change”, the coach said .
