Welcome once again to another interesting
episode of your favorite online soccer celebrity interview show THE NAIJA
PUNDITS LIVE. On this week’s episode I had an amazing time out interviewing Super
eagles and Enyimba FC dependable left back Aloma Idris, and am sure you also
going to enjoy it.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW IDRIS
IDRIS: Thank you.

determination.
YOU GOT YOUR FIRST CALL UP TO THE EAGLES UNDER
STEVEN KESHI JANUARY THIS YEAR, DON’T YOU THINK THINGS KIND OFF HAPPENED VERY
FAST FOR YOU? CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT YOU ALSO SIGNED FOR ENYIMBA THAT SAME
MONTH FROM EL-KANEMI WARRIORS?
IDRIS: To me, favor is better than labor. It
doesn’t matter how long or how many years you have spent in the game.
A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPARE YOUR PLAYING PATTERN TO
REAL MADRID LEFT BACK MARCELO, DO YOU SHARE THEIR VIEWS?
IDRIS: LOL, People do say it but I think they
are not far from the truth.
WHEN YOU ARE IN CAMP WITH THE SUPER EAGLES,
WHICH PLAYER OFTEN GIVE YOU STIFF COMPETITION IN THAT LEFT BACK POSITION?
IDRIS: I don’t compete with anybody; I just
focus on my own race. Then it’s left for the coach to make his option.
STILL WITH THE EAGLE, WHICH IS THE TOUGHEST
MATCH YOU HAVE EVER PLAYED IN FOR THE EAGLES?
IDRIS: None.
YOUR FIRST PROFESSIONAL CLUB WAS BABANAWA FC OF
KOGI STATE, HOW VITAL WAS THE CLUB IN SHAPING YOU UP TO THE KIND OF PLAYER YOU
ARE NOW?

ahead.
NOW LETS FOCUS ON YOUR TEAM ENYIMBA FC
IDRIS: Ok.
ENYIMBA IS TOP OF THE LOG WITH JUST THREE MORE
MATCHES TO GO, AND ONLY A DRAW WILL SECURE THE TITLE. HOW CONFIDENTARE YOU
GOING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST ABIA WARRIORS?
IDRIS: The spirit here in camp is high and we
can’t afford to slip.
SO DO YOU SEE YOUR TEAM GETTING THE THREE
MAXIMUM POINTS AT ABIA WARRORS? CONSIDERING THE FACT IT IS ALSO A DERBY.
IDRIS: Anything is possible.
YOUR CAPTAIN CHINEDU UDOJI HAS OFTEN COME TO THE
TEAM’S RESCUE IN RECENT MATCHES; DOES THAT MEAN THE STRIKERS ARE RELENTING IN
THEIR EFFORT?
IDRIS: No! We always aim for the three maximum
points not minding who scores for us. We always play as a team.
YOU SCORED YOUR FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON AGAINST
LOBI STARS, DO YOU INTEND IMPROVING ON YOUR GOAL SCORING RECORD NOT MINDING
BEEN A DEFENDER?
IDRIS: Yes.
ITS NO LONGER NEWS THAT PLAYERS IN WARRI WOLVES
ARE STILL BEEN OWED BONUSES AND SALARIES, DO YOU EXPERIENCE MUCH OF THAT ALSO
PLAYING IN THE NIGERIAN PREMIER LEAGUE AND AT ENYIMBA YOUR CURRENT TEAM?

ENYIMBA IS ALREADY GUARANTEED CONTINENTAL TICKET
AS IT STANDS NOW FOR NEXT SEASON, HOW OPTIMISTIC IS YOUR TEAM ABOUT IT AND WHAT
