AGENCIES, NEW DELHI: India U-17 World Cup Team head coach Nicolai Adam has scouted four boys for his squad from the recent trials which were conducted by All India Football Federation under former India Captain Abhishek Yadav, presently Director Scouting, AIFF.
Nicolai who was present to watch the selected boys play for a combined team for AIFF U-19 Academy team in Goa said: “boys deserve another trial with my team.”
“There is no guarantee that these boys would eventually make it to the World Cup squad but they certainly deserve the chance for another trial with my team. The four boys would join my camp after we come back from our back to back tournaments in Brazil and Russia,” the German coach informed.
“I myself have been actively involved in many scouting ventures since taking over but from my experience, I can say that this was one of the better ones from all which I have attended. The level of Football which I say was really impressive and we have scouted four.”
Nicolai felt the idea is to give youth Players “more opportunity to play.”
