Three Players To Watch Out For As Flying Eagles Begin Their World Cup Campaign
Published: May 24, 2019
The much-anticipated U20 World Cup began in Poland yesterday and a record has been created already.
The 19-year-old Senegalese striker Amadou Sagna broke a 34-year-old record when he found the back of the net in just 9.6 seconds into their game against Tahiti.
The West African side went on to claim an impressive 3-0 victory over their opponents.
The Flying Eagles of Nigeria begin their quest for first U20 World Cup glory when they battle Qatar later today in Tychy.
Though teamwork is definitely required from Paul Aigbogun's men if they must follow Senegal's path, all eyes will be on these three players to lead the team to victory.
Tom Dele-Bashiru
Manchester City's midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru will be charged with the responsibility of creating many chances for his teammates against their Asian counterparts.
The youngster is no doubt one of the most experienced players in the team, considering his exposure and the number of games he's played for the Etihad youth team.
Kingsley Michael
The fact that he's one of the foreign-based players in the team makes him an important part of the team.
The striker enjoyed a great season with Perugia, and many Flying Eagles fans are definitely hoping to see him in fine form later today.
Olawale Oremade
Flying Eagles chances of keeping a clean sheet after today's game sorely rely on Oremade's performance between the sticks.
