Shell-Shocked Man City Midfielder Overhears Flying Eagles Officials Discussing About Bribe; 'Football Ages'

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that a player on the books of Premier League champions Manchester City recently overhead Flying Eagles officials discussing about dropping players invited to the training camp who refused to grease the palms of the coaching staff.

The Flying Eagles officials talked freely despite the presence of the midfielder as they didn't know he understood vernacular perfectly because of his British accent.

The officials were arguing among themselves about the players to drop from the roster for refusing to bribe the coaches, and they called out the names of the players in that category.

Apart from the issue of bribery, on one or two occasions at a team meal in the evening, the foreign-born players were shell-shocked over the fact that the Flying Eagles coaches freely joked about the Nigerian-born players' ages.

Some of the Nigerian-born players admitted that they were playing with their 'football ages', the foreign-born players were surprised this could happen in 2019 and they should not celebrate if they win the World Cup in Poland.

The Nigerian-born players kept asking the foreign-born ones if the ages stated on their passports were their real ages which amused them.
