Ngumoha keen to 'show what I can do'

[Getty Images] Liverpool forward Rio Ngumoha says he was "buzzing" to make his international debut and "show everyone what I could do" in England's first World Cup warm-up fixture against New Zealand last week. The 17-year-old, who was one of four youngsters selected by Thomas Tuchel to join his pre-World Cup training camp in Florida, became the fifth-youngest player to represent the Three Lions in history, coming on as a substitute in the 1-0 friendly win. "I'll say it was a crazy feeling," Ngumoha, who received the man of the match award, told England's media channels. "I was happy. I was buzzing. "I knew from when we had the meeting before the match that there was going to be a first-half team and a second-half team, so I was preparing [to play]. "It's good that I didn't have too much time to think about it. I wasn't too nervous to be fair, I just wanted to play and show everyone what I could do. I just had fun. "I was at home when I got a call from John McDermott [the FA's director of football]. He just said: 'How are you? Would you like to be part of the training squad and help the pre-camp in Miami?' And I just said: 'Yes, of course.' "I came out here with an open mind. When you get a call saying that you could be training with the World Cup squad as a young kid, or as anyone really, you would never turn down that opportunity. "My role was to come out here and help the other players train, but I also wanted to show what I can do as well. It has been great. "Everyone is very humble, nobody is over the top. Everyone is so nice and so chill, nobody is judgemental or anything. Everyone interacts well with each other. Everyone has been so nice and friendly to me."
