Dixon, Williams
will be in Germany
by Simon Reeves
Liberia 's Sweden-based professional Jimmy Dixon has confirmed that
he will join the Lone Star at the training camp in Germany
The Malmo FF defender said on Saturday that he will arrive in
Germany this Friday and stay for two days. Dixon reached the
decision after a conversation with Coach Antoine Hey and after
receiving a fax from Liberia .
“Our schedule here is very tight but I am committed to the Lone Star
so I will be in Germany to train with the team,” he said.
Dixon also told me that striker Dioh William of Danish side Arhus
will make the trip. “Dioh and I have arranged to travel there on
Friday”, he added.
There's been no confirmation from AIK midfielder Dulee Johnson (also
playing in Sweden ). When I last spoke to him (on Thursday) he said
no official communication has reached him from Monrovia
Dixon noted that he would have loved to spend a lot more time with
the team but his schedule with Malmo won't permit.
“Although the Swedish national league will be on break from Monday
(May 12) we have some games in the Swedish Cup and will still be
practicing. That's why I will travel on Friday because will be
playing a match on Thursday.
The defender added that he had a fruitful discussion with Hey and is
impressed with the level of commitment that the coach exudes.
But Dixon threw a swipe at the administrators when he noted that
they do not know how he and the others will get to Germany .
“They don't know how we will get there. Whenever we pay our
transportation to go on Lone Star assignment, let's say, to Monrovia
and other places, they don't want to pay us back,” he added
