The camp of the Nigeria U23 has been hit with a huge allegation of cash for spot levelled against the backroom staff of the team led by coach of the team Salisu Yusuf, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Ahead of the second leg of the qualifiers game against Tanzania, the technical crew have been accused of accepting cash to include some players in their plans for the game. The first game ended 1-1 in Tanzania.
” It’s unfortunate that good players are not allowed to show what they can do for the team. It’s about who you know and also how much you have to offer. You can’t say Salisu is aware because it’s a web that has most of the backroom staff in it”, a source told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
He went further to say that on loan Arsenal midfielder Tim Akinola left the camp unhappy after he wasn’t named in the match day squad despite proving to be better than half of the players in his position.
” For instance the Arsenal kid Akintola left the camp in disappointment. He was told he is not in the squad for the game. I watched the training and very few players can be said to be at his level especially in his role. One of the coaches told me he wasn’t prepared for the physical nature of African football. That’s a lie though as he was very much at home”.
