'So Many Talents In Flying Eagles, We Can Surprise The World' - Kingsley Michael Ahead Of Showdown Vs USA

Published: May 26, 2019

Bologna starlet Kingsley Michael was one of the star performers for the Flying Eagles as they began their campaign at the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup with a 4-0 thrashing of Qatar.

Tom Dele-Bashiru netted on his international debut after receiving a threaded pass from the 2015 U17 World Cup-winning midfielder in the 68th minute.

The 20-year-old Michael is mentioned in the group of players on whom it is worth paying attention to in this tournament but he is not distracted.

''There are so many talents in our team that we can surprise the world,'' Michael said to laczynaspilka.pl.

''I am aware of the responsibility that lies with me. I accept the challenge and am ready to play at any time for the team, it's pressure for me, but I pray that it will go as well as possible.

''The key to a successful tournament in Poland is to listen to our coaches.''

The Flying Eagles will be hoping to maintain their momentum when they take on the United States on Monday in Bielsko-Biala.
