The coach of the Nigeria senior national team Gernot Rohr has ruled out playing Victor Moses as a wing back for Nigeria, when they take on Algeria on the 12th of November in Uyo.
Moses who missed Nigeria’s first World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Zambia, the 2-1 win in Ndola is among the new faces called up by the manager for the Algeria tie.
This season the Nigerian has flourished in a new role as a wingback under the 3-4-3 system of manager Antonio Conte, but Rohr confirmed in a chat with Owngoalnigeria.com that his preferred style for the Algeria game means there will be no spot for a wing back.
” We don’t play the Chelsea way, against Algeria we won’t play like Chelsea, so we might necessarily not need a wing back. On the flanks we have Ahmed Musa, Moses Simon and Alex Iwobi, Victor Moses is part of them” He said.
