Welcome to this week’s edition of your favorite soccer interview section THE NAIJA PUNDITS LIVE. Today I was privilege to have Super Eagles and Warri Wolves Defender Solomon Kwambe as guest, it was an exciting time out with the Right back. Enjoy!
WELCOME TO THE SHOW SOLOMON
SOLOMON : Thanks you.
YOU PARTICIPATEDE IN BOTH MATCHES AGAINST TANZANIA AND NIGER, WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE AMONG THE NEW COACH STARTERS?
SOLOMON : It was a great privilege and opportunity given unto me to play in those two games, I was very happy.
THAT’S GOOD. YOU ARE AMONG THE FEW HOME BASED PLAYERS TO BE PRIVILEGE TO WORK UNDER BOTH KESHI AND OLISEH, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE BOTH COACHES?
SOLOMON : Sorry I have no answer to this question I was warned.
OK SOLOMON
SOLOMON : Thanks for understanding.
AGAINST TANZANIA THE SUPER EAGLES WERE UNDER SERIOUS PRESSURE FROM THE TANZANIANS HEADING INTO THE BREAK, WHAT WAS OLISEH’S HALF TIME RESPONSE TO THAT?
SOLOMON : Oliseh talked about the game, he saw what we were facing and said we have not played what he knew we can play. Then he made some changes and from there we had to adjust ourselves.
THE LIKES OF ABBEY GEORGE, IFEANYI UDEZE ALL PLAYED THIS POSITION FOR THE EAGLES, ARE YOU UNDER ANYPRESSURE TO SURPASS THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS?
SOLOMON : I am not under any pressure because records are meant to be broken and remember one thing, national team is not by birth right, it is by chance. So if I have got the chance and with God on our side I can achieve more than them.
OK NICE ONE SOLOMON. WHCH MATCH HAS BEEN YOUR TOUGHEST MATCH SO FAR PLAYING FOR THE SUPER EAGLES?
SOLOMON : I will start from scratch, I will pick the game against Catalonia.
TALKING ABOUT THE CATALONIA MATCH, HOW WAS IT LIKE FACING THE LIKES OF XAVI, BUSQUET AND SO ON?
SOLOMON : It was a great experience playing against the world class players, I learnt a lot in that game and it helped develop my game.
THAT WAS GREAT. WHO DID YOU EXCHANGE JERSEY WITH AFTER THE MATCH?
SOLOMON : Bojan.
WONDERFUL, WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU?
SOLOMON : He said ‘Nice game’.
WHAT PART OF YOUR GAME DO YOU WISH OR PLAN TO WORK ON SOLOMON ?
SOLOMON : Defensive aspect and my offensive play also.
OK SOLOMON TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR CLUB WARRI WOLVES. WARRI WOLVES IS SECOND ON THE LOG FOUR POINTS BEHIND LEAGUE TOPPERS ENYIMBA, ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC YOUR TEAM CAN STILL WIN THE LEAGUE?
SOLOMON : Nobody knew that we will be where we are now, so winning the league is possible for us and I believe we will play to win in the remaining match but before that we will take one game at a time.
NICE ONE. YOU WILL BE UP AGAINST ABIA WARRIORS ON SUNDAY, ARE YOU OPTIMISTC OF GETTING THE THREE MAXIMUM POINTS?
SOLOMON : You can’t predict the game of football, talking of getting the three maximum points the final whistle in the game that day will determine, but on our own part we will work towards achieving that.
HOW HAS MATCHES AGAINST ABIA WARRIORS BEEN ?
SOLOMON : Abia warriors match has always been a tough match.
WHO HAS BEEN THE TOUGHEST STRIKER OR WINGER YOU HAVE EVER COME AGAINST IN THE NPFL ?
SOLOMON : Mane Ubale of Nassarawa utd former Pillars player.
LAST MONTH ON THIS SHOW, YOUR TEAM MATE LORDSON ICHULL CONFIRMED WARRI WOLVES PLAYERS ARE BEING OWNED SALARY, IS THAT STILL THEN CASE NOW?
SOLOMON : Yes, nothing has changed about that.
HAS THAT AFFECTED THE PLAYERS MOTIVATION?
SOLOMON : Seriously it has affected the players motivation but we the players are trying our best to get our mind of it so we can achieve our aim.
