 “I wouldn’t say I was really affected by what happened after last season and after the AFCON because it’s football. “Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t work but as a footballer one thing is for sure is that deals come and deals also crash,” Nwabali noted.  “But one thing I know is that even with all these happening you don’t have to lose your value as a soccer player. 

 “With everything that happened, I even felt like I was going to leave the club but I’m still with the club so it doesn’t change anything.”
