Hamzat Ojediran, the 20-year-old Nigerian midfielder of DVSC, is becoming more and more popular among our fans for his fighting skills and diligence. Hamzat scored his first league goal for Loki against Zalaegerszeg and took the lead in the last match. We interviewed one of the heroes of the match.

– You scored your first league goal against ZTE. How did it feel?

– I had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It was my first goal as a professional footballer and it makes me very happy.

– You joined DVSC just over a year ago, how do you feel about the club and the team?

– Debrecen is a great place for my development, I’m learning a lot of new things and that’s one of the reasons for my success. I feel that everything is in place now.

– Speaking of learning, do you have a role model, a favorite among the big stars?

– Definitely Chilean star Arturo Vidal. I like his game a lot, he has played for top clubs in Europe like Barcelona, Juventus and Internazionale.

– What do you think about the city of Debrecen? What do you do in your spare time?

– I have a good time, I like the city, I like to walk around and go to restaurants when I have some free time.

– Tell us about your childhood! When did you first feel that football was your path?

– It’s not easy to play football in Africa. When I was 16, I played for the Nigerian national team at the U17 World Cup in Brazil and that’s when I felt it was my way. Later I came to Europe for trials, to Albania and finally to Debrecen.

– You seem extremely motivated in every training session and match. Is that typical of you?

– Yes, I am always hungry for success, always motivated and always pushing myself. That’s how I am!

– What are your next football goals?

– I want to keep improving, because when I played in Albania, I dreamed of better and stronger championships, and that came true with DVSC. Of course, I have to keep learning so that I can hope for the best.
