The tournament taking place in Argentina is shaken by the unusual action of defender Daniel Bameyi, who has become one of the figures of the contest, which has been recorded by a questionable institution.
Daniel Bameyi was one of the figures at the Under-20 World Cup taking place in Argentina, the country that took on responsibility for hosting it after FIFA pulled it out of Indonesia. The defender defends Nigeria and is the protagonist of the most unusual story that the tournament has recorded so far. This time it’s not about any suspicion as to his true age, a ghost that usually surrounds African teams. The plot is even more exciting.
Bameyi, the captain and right-back of the team, managed to dazzle the critics and the onlookers who usually hang around these championships in search of the talents of tomorrow. He belongs to Yum Yum FC, from his country . This, at least, according to the information contained in the files that the Nigerian federation submitted to FIFA for the registration of the player. The body that governs world football did not oppose the procedure.
Does not exist
What is curious is that Yum Yum FC does not appear registered anywhere. In other words, the club does not exist. The outlet Own Goal Nigeria, in fact, rules out the existence of such an institution. “Where are they based exactly? Abuja, they said, but sources in Abuja denied having encountered a team by that name. “, He reports, further fueling the suspicions of a manifest irregularity.
Bameyi’s ability and projection look so appealing that even adult coach Portugal’s José Peseiro has his sights set on the 17-year-old, whom he called up for Las Águilas Verdes in March. “I chose him because he is a great defender, there are players of the same level, but I have to choose players I trust “Explained the strategist on this occasion, realizing the high valuation he attributed to his physical and footballing qualities.
The medium that raises the information deepens the confusion. “While the decision to bring in Anigboso can be seen as justified given his near-flawless performance, the same cannot be said for Bameyi, who had to settle for a right-back spot because he didn’t could not move the duo of Benjamin Fredrick and Abel Ogwuche, who formed an almost perfect relationship in central defense in his absence due to suspension”, he analyzes, first evoking a strictly football analysis. Angiboso is a goalkeeper.
And then it brings another background which stirs controversy and to some extent reveals the administrative mess of Nigerians. “Super Eagles non-league player: one of the charges against then (DT) Stephen Keshi which led to his dismissal was his decision to invite a non-league player , Gabriel Okenchukwu, to the senior team. So what has changed between then and now to make a non-league player worthy enough to be called up to the senior team?” he asks of the decision to call me up. was made by the current DT, Ladan Bosso.
