Kwara United are currently the leaders in the table in Nigeria after 18 rounds, and probably one of the main reasons for this is the veteran goalkeeper - Della Inogba.
The 37-year-old Nigerian played in Israel for 13 years, mainly in Bnei Yehuda, and later also in Hapoel Ashkelon, Hapoel Ixl and for a short time in Afula, until in January 2020 he returned to his homeland to play for the team in which he grew up.
In an interview with the local media, Inogba explained why he decided to return to the African country after a long period in Israel.
"I am happy with the decision to return home, and I want to make it clear that winning titles with Kwara United is my goal. I have faith in my teammates," said Einogba.
On the friendship with ex Hapoel Tel Aviv, Vincent Anime: “Anime and I have built a strong relationship over the years and we are still like brothers to this day.
I want to thank him for his love for me. "
The toughest opponent in my career: "During my years in Europe, I can say that their golden hair was the toughest opponent I had, I had a very hard time dealing with it."
In addition, the goalkeeper was asked to choose who he prefers - Cristiano Ronaldo or Leo Messi - and chose Juventus' number 7.
Beitar Tikva, and Maccabi Haifa before he stopped playing.
Why we do not do it in Nigeria kills me.
When a player wants to play, they say he's old and broke, but he needs to feed his family and still has his two legs to play.
Will he beg for money from his colleagues to feed him

In the summer, Inogba was interviewed by the Nigerian website "The Delay Times", told about his return to the Nigerian league at a late age and asked to take an example from the treatment Yossi Benyon received when he returned to Israel: "When Benyon returned to Israel Petah Tikva before he finished his career. Kills me we do not behave like that in Nigeria. When a player wants to play they say he is old and broken, but he has to feed his family and he still has two legs to play. He has to beg for money from colleagues to feed the family? joke".
