2019 World Cup: Flying Eagles Doomed For Failure In Poland As Bournemouth's Ofoborh Departs Camp

Published: May 10, 2019

Less than two weeks before the start of the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup, allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Flying Eagles are embarking on a jamboree trip to Poland because they are not prepared for the tournament.

The Paul Aigbogun-led side have been far from impressive in their three test games so far, drawing 3-3 with SC Freiburg U23s, losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia and struggling to beat a younger age group, VfR Aalen U19s 3-1 in Wednesday's friendly.

The Flying Eagles could not string five passes together in the friendlies and in training games, and the main problem with the team is that they are unable to create chances, not to talk of scoring.

They were outplayed by VfR Aalen teenagers and were lucky to win the game after scoring twice in the second half.

Their camp in Bad Gögging is in disarray, with several uninvited players not disclosed to the public showing up in camp.

Paul Aigbogun should carry the blame for the Monarch Hotel overflowing with players because he knew the identities of eighty percent of the players heading to the World Cup even before the squad traveled to Germany for the training camp.

In other news, Bournemouth midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh is the latest English-based player on the books of a Premier League club to depart the training camp, joining Everton's Korede Adedoyin, Manchester City's Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Watford's Jayden Bennetts.

Ofoborh has claimed he needed to go back to his club ahead of their final match of the season vs Crystal Palace on Sunday, May 12.
