Moses Simon: the game-hanger Strasbourg must contain
For Strasbourg coach, containing Moses Simon is crucial to his team’s success.
The 28-year-old Nigerian, who has already notched two goals and three assists this season, is widely regarded as one of the standout players in the Nantes team.
Rosenior expressed his familiarity with Simon, emphasising the need for his team to be vigilant.
Speaking during his press conference, the Strasbourg coach said,
“Nantes are a good team with good players, especially Moses Simon, who I know very well.”
”The most important thing will be to cut their play off from deep with Chirivella, who is a very good player. We will play to our strengths, and it could be a great match.”

The stakes are high, as both teams are seeking to break free from recent poor performances.
Nantes will be coming into this match on a troubling streak, having drawn 1-1 against Nice in their last outing and failing to secure a win in their last five games, which include three draws and two defeats.
On the other hand, Strasbourg is also in search of redemption, coming off a heavy 4-2 loss to PSG and managing only one win in their last five matches, accompanied by three draws.
The Nigerian winger’s ability to turn the game in Nantes’ favour could be the differencemaker they need to snap their winless run.
With both sides desperate for points, the showdown at Stade de la Meinau is sure to deliver excitement and drama.
