I enjoy eating pounded yam before a game–Iwobi

Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi has said that pounded yam is the meal he loves to eat before going onto the pitch.

Iwobi claimed the meal does not make him feel heavy.

The Arsenal winger was responding to questions from National Football League (NFL) and Nigeria-born star, Jay Ajayi, on the club’s YouTube channel.

“It would probably be a pound of yam,” Iwobi answered.

On the World Cup, the player is one of the Eagles players whose position is secure, except he gets injured.

Nigeria was the first African country to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals after a 74th minute goal by Iwobi.

“When I scored, I saw my parents in the crowd and I almost cried. It was a nice feeling.”

He, however, admitted that he does not know all the lines of the Nigeria national anthem.
