Chico Opwado was on the luggage this morning (Sunday).
The Rich Rich could be heard closing several times during the call to Nigeria.
Last year, when he was still playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv, he announced that he had stolen personal items when he flew from Tel Aviv to Nigeria via Ethiopia, but in the afternoon he would have no choice and he would make his way again with a stopover in Addis Ababa in the hope that this time everything would go his way.
"I really wanted to return to Israel," he told Walla!
Sports ahead of the surprising signing at Mm.
S. Ashdod.
"During the July and August break when I realized that Maccabi Tel Aviv was not renewing my contract for a third season, I thought of returning to Turkey, the league from which I came to Israel, but even though I was there and was already close to signing, I preferred to wait and not sign. Between Turkey and Israel I preferred Israel."
Then came an offer from Bnei Yehuda.
"I spoke with Bnei Yehuda but we did not reach an agreement. Things did not work out."
How was the proposal from MMS born?
Ashdod?
"A few days ago the president called and we talked. He showed me he wanted me. I told him I was completely healthy for three months and that I was training in Nigeria in an orderly fashion on a football pitch and in the gym. We decided we were closing a contract until the end of the season. .

You experienced an injury about eight months ago and have not returned to play since.
"The injury is behind me and I have been completely healthy for more than three months. I have no problem playing."
So you come to Ashdod a year and two weeks after you scored a winning goal against them
"I remember the game well. It was hard. It's always hard to play in Ashdod. I won in the 70th minute after we fought the whole game."
Maccabi Tel Aviv is currently not doing well in the Premier League and tonight has a critical away game against Bnei Sakhnin.
"I follow. There are also seasons like this, especially when you play in the Europa League and when you are after two championships. But I trust Maccabi. My friends are there. I believe they will be champions this season as well. Maccabi Tel Aviv is still the strongest in Israel."

Did you check when Ashdod will meet Maccabi Tel Aviv?
"I did not check, but it will be very strange for me to play against Maccabi Tel Aviv. It will be really strange to play against Dan Glazer and all my brothers from Maccabi Tel Aviv."
Are you angry that you did not continue?
"This is professional life in football and I have nothing to be angry about. Maccabi Tel Aviv wanted something different and that's fine. I'm just sad that I was stuck in Nigeria and could not return to Israel for the playoffs to do the second championship."
Do you dream of coming back?
"Now I dream of playing in Ashdod and helping Ashdod and in the future anything can happen. I have already seen a lot of things in football and if life takes me back to Maccabi Tel Aviv, it will be great. But for that to happen I have to be good in Ashdod and score goals for it."
Opuado: "He too is on his way back to Israel."

Do you know anyone there?
"Shlomi Azulai. He has excellent balls. Every striker wants such a connection next to him."
What about John Ugo?
"Yesterday we were together. I estimate that he is also on his way back to Israel. Maybe to Hapoel Hadera. Maybe to another team. Soon he will return as well."
