Super Eagles forward, Samuel Chukwueze, has disclosed how his mother was initially against him playing football while revealing how much he loved former Nigeria captain, Jay-Jay Okocha while growing up. “My big hero was Jay JayOkocha. I loved watching him, and whenever he played for Nigeria I would be so desperate to see him win. If they lost, I wouldn’t eat. I couldn’t take it,” Chukwueze told Goal. “In my home town, we had a local centre and I would try to go there to watch Nigeria games. We didn’t have a TV, but there was one there. I would peep through the window to see Okocha and the rest.” Chukwueze has been in great form since signing for the Yellow Submarines from Diamond Academy in Abuja. He scored five goals and created two assists in 26 La Liga appearances last season. The young forward has also started the new 2019/20 season well, scoring one goal in three league appearances. He also talked about how he started out as a footballer and the resistance he got from his mother. According to him, his mother was eventually the same person who later encouraged him to follow his dreams. Read more at https://thesportsbay.com/30387-chukwueze-speaks-on-his-career.html |

Family is indeed a great factor in achieving greatness, they could hinder/propel one's dream. Congratulations Chukwueze from making it out of this. |
