Perugia of Italy and Nigeria U20 national team player Kingsley Michael has stated that he has the pressure of ensuring he justifies his world cup inclusion ahead of Nigeria’s opening tie today against Qatar at the FIFA U20 world cup.
Michael speaking in a chat with www.brila.net said having been a full-fledged professional player in Italy already, he is aware of the responsibility he has and stressed that the challenge is one he welcomes and would love to justify if called on to play on any of the match days and hope things go well.
“It’s all the same Pressure, the responsibility I have to take it. I have the responsibility, I’m coming from a team in Italy. I have been playing professional and it’s a pressure for me but I hope and pray it goes well.”
Kingsley Michael is one of the foreign-based midfielders in the team who got added to improve the quality of the team in midfield after a below-par outing of the Flying Eagles at the Africa tourney earlier this year in Niger.
