Veteran goalkeeper Hugo Nyame has opened up about his situation at Royal AM after being left out of the matchday squad this season, despite still being part of the club. Nyame’s unexpected absence from the squad has raised eyebrows, especially given his experience and status as a key figure for the team in previous seasons.
Speaking candidly about his situation, Nyame explained that his exclusion from the matchday squad has been a result of tactical decisions and the club’s evolving squad dynamics. He clarified that he remains at Royal AM, fully committed to his role at the club, but acknowledged that changes in the squad’s structure under new management have led to adjustments in player selection.
“There have been some changes within the team this season, and as a player, I have to respect the decisions of the coach and the technical staff. I am still part of the squad, and I continue to train hard and remain ready whenever the team needs me,” Nyame said.
The goalkeeper further revealed that while his omission from the squad has been difficult, he understands that football is a team sport, and the manager’s decisions are driven by what is best for the team’s success. Nyame emphasized that his relationship with the club and coaching staff remains positive, and he continues to offer support to his teammates, both on and off the field.
“The competition for places in the team is always tough, especially in the goalkeeper position. I have to keep working hard and stay focused on my own development. My role may not be on the field right now, but I am here to support the team in any way I can,” Nyame added.
Nyame, who has had a long and distinguished career in South African football, is no stranger to the pressures of professional football. His experience has made him a valuable presence in the Royal AM dressing room, even if he is not currently getting game time. The goalkeeper’s commitment to the team’s success is unwavering, and he remains hopeful that his opportunities will come as the season progresses.
For now, Nyame’s focus is on staying prepared and maintaining his professionalism, understanding that the dynamics of a football squad can change quickly. With the season still unfolding, it remains to be seen when the veteran goalkeeper will be called upon again, but for Nyame, the priority is always to contribute to the team in whatever capacity he can.
