Exclusive: Switzerland Sensation ESEOSA AIGBOGUN: I Was Never Approached By The Nigeria Federation

FC Basel teenage sensation and Switerland youth - teamer Eseosa Aigbogun, who is currently in Japan playing for the Switzerland squad at the Fifa Under 20 Women's World Cup, has told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b> that she was never contacted by the Nigeria selectors to play for the Falconets.<br /><br />'' I was never approached by the Nigeria Federation to play for the Under 20 squad or Falcons, and I am still waiting to hear from them. A couple of journalists had approached me in the past.<br /><br />'' At this moment I can't really say where my international future lies after the World Cup. My aim is to concentrate on this tournament and help the Swiss Team qualify for the quarter - finals of the competition,'' Aigbogun, a product of the FC Zurich Academy, told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />Eseosa Aigbogun is one of the hottest prospects in Swiss Football, and she showed her immense potentials on Sunday, scoring in injury time in Switzerland's 1-2 loss to New Zealand in Miyagi.<br /><br />Despite the surprise loss to the team from Oceania, the 19-year-old Aigbogun is optimistic that Switzerland will get the results they need in their next two games against Japan and Mexico to book a place in the knock - out rounds.<br /><br />'' We played a better game than New Zealand. But we had the problem of failing to utilize our opportunities. Perhaps, the opponents were luckier than us, they took their chances. I did not make the starting line-up for tactical reasons, and when I was introduced I scored. It's a way of revealing to the coach (Yannick Schwery, ed) that he should rely on me for goals.<br /><br />'' The tournament is a great one for every player to show their talents and I am hoping to win with the Swiss ladies.&nbsp; I am positive we will qualify for the next round because we have a strong team,'' says Eseosa.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
