It’s not okay to shut the “MEDIA” out for that long but The issue isn’t Eric Chelle closing training and shutting media out. The real issue is that Nigeria has no controlled media structure around the national team. Most travels independently, creates content for themselves, and then feels entitled and expects unlimited access. That’s not professionalism at all, that’s just chaos. Paying your way doesn’t equal access and that’s what the structure has been looking like. It just feels like everyone with a phone or camera can walk in and get contents for “PERSONAL USE”. Again I’m not saying that shouldn’t be allowed(it’s a win win situation for all parties), my point is that it should be properly CONTROLLED and REGULATED In serious football systems, access is structured, tiered, and clearly defined. Everyone who intends to go as MEDIA should apply and be accredited in “tiers” before the start of tournament and then everyone knows why and what their roles are even before heading there. Some media personalities can’t have the same level of access PROFESSIONAL media/personalities have. Everyone can’t have the same level of access MEDIA ISNT DISTRACTION..!!! That lack of structure and communication that isn’t there is what’s hurting everyone !! when training is suddenly closed like this, it feels personal because nothing was ever structured in the first place. No expectations were set, No boundaries were defined from on set, it’s Just been vibes.
