Niger Tornadoes' attacking winger Wilfred Ammeh is considering leaving the club in the ongoing transfer window of the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL after guiding the club to a surprising top four status.
Ammeh scored once for the Ikon Allah Boys as he found a first team
opportunity hard to come by under Coach Abubakar Bala led side.
In this exclusive interview with Footyalert, the former TEAP FC and Kogi
United player expressed delight with development in the Nigeria Professional
Football League under the League
Management Company (LMC) just as he advised the league body to work on players'
welfare to develop the league.
Read on:
Footyalert: What's your
assessment of your team as you finished the first round of NPFL?
Ammeh: We are happy the
first round is over now, we are fourth on the log now, it's good for us , it's
a massive achievement for us because last season we were a bit struggling, now
we have to build on this and pick points as many as possible as we can both
hime and away, I think we have meet up with our coaches' target for first round
which is to finish, now we need to be ready mentally and physically as pressure
will be on us as you know many clubs we are to face now will attack us with our
status as top four club.
Footyalert: Would you say
Tornadoes is now a balanced team looking at how Team was last season and what
you have achieve now, and what area would you advise the club to work on ahead
of resumption?
Ammeh: For me, I wouldn't
say because we have so many talented players, many that I'm yet to see them
break into the team, I've been seeing many of them in training, expectedly you
know that a club like Tornadoes with our position now we will want to beef up
with few injections to help us, but I think we've shown in the first round that
we have depth in the team, good players are here, I will leave that area to
beef to coaches.
Footyalert: What's your
personal assessment so far and any plans to better your game?
Ammeh: Honestly the first
round has not been good for me, It didn't go the way I planned it, I couldn't
get many games to play, coming from bench on many occasions, it's not a
situation that I really like. I love to play all games, but it's the game the
coaches have the final say on who get to play. It's a moment of lesson for me,
I've learnt to be patient and I was patient even when I didn't get to play
games, but I'm still happy I was able to get a goal and few assist with
opportunities I got I think I'm ok with my personal contribution to the team to
reach this far, I've had couple of clubs talking to me, top clubs but I've not
taking any decision yet, I will go home, spend some times with my family relax
my brain and think about the next step then try to talk to my coach and see how
it goes.
Footyalert: What are you
telling the league organizers, LMC to work on ahead of league resumption?
Ammeh: Honestly the league
has witnessed massive improvements in all areas, it's been so good not like
previous season when you go away and just know you will lose, but now the
league is really open. But I would like the LMC to assist more in terms of
players' welfare, they need to do more on that. You see sometimes a team will
travel a whole day for a league match, and your club will still want to perform
to a certain standard, I will advise the LMC to look at how they can get clubs
talk to airlines in moving clubs to long distance, if they can help talk to
them and reduce the tickets I think it will help players to give their best and
the league will also be more sweet , but overall for me the league it's growing
fast, from the media, officiating, administration and all that.
