Representing Nigeria remains my ultimate ambition,” says Europe-based striker Adegbenro.
Everywhere in Europe, young Nigerian footballers keep dazzling at their respective clubs and Daniel Adegbenro is not an exception.
Adegbenro, who plies his trade with FC Vion Zlate Moravce has been very phenomenon in Slovakian league. His skills, especially his dribbling runs, pace, strength, ferocious shots, with eyes for goals have made him a nightmare to opposing defenders and goalkeepers in the league.
The teenage attacker can operate effectively as a second striker or a winger depending on the tactical formation his club chooses, and it is no wonder that he has seven goals and three assists to his name since the season began.
As a left footed attacker, with deft touches, his intelligence while with the ball is a delight to behold and there is no denying the fact that at only 18 years old, he will definitely get better, as he continues to develop himself.
Interestingly, Adegbenro was born and bred in Texas, United States, a country more known for exploits in basketball, athletics, tennis, but the young Nigerian chose football and he has shown potential for greatness in the round leather game.
“My interest, passion has always been soccer or football as it is called outside the United States. I remain focus on the task I set for myself, which is to continue developing and improving my game,” Adegbenro told www.totorinews.com exclusively.
Despite being born in the United States, the highly gifted forward revealed that he has been following Nigeria football for years and he hopes to wear the national colours of the most populous black nation in the world.
“I have always been attracted to Nigeria football from when i was a kid. Nigeria fascinates me greatly and realistically, i see myself as a Nigerian footballer, though born in Texas, United States.
“I carry the DNA of a Nigerian in my blood, in my football and hopefully, i will get to represent the country in the future.
“I am very glad that i now play in Europe, where i hope to continue to work very hard and be improving my game,” he added.
On match day eight in the Slovakian league over the weekend, he featured for 90 minutes for FC ViOn Zlate in their clash with FK Slovan Levice, which ended goalless.
“It was a game we really wanted to win, but unfortunately it ended goalless. I’m grateful that the technical crew entrusted their faith in me. I played the full game and as i said earlier, i hope to continue to improve.
“I had already scored seven goals, with three assists, i deeply appreciate my teammates, coaches and fans for their support.
“I will follow the processes of my development meticously, stay very focused on the goals that i have set for myself and the ultimate goal is to play for Nigeria someday,” he concluded.
