\n\tChinedu Obasi is brimming with confidence after he returned from a long injury layoff and the striker, who was dropped by Hoffenheim this week for perpetual late coming, tells MTNFootball.com he could be open to quit the German club in the coming year.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHow do you feel coming back after such a long injury layoff?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m really delighted and happy to be back playing football again. I have really worked very hard to get myself back on the pitch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m hoping to push up my game. I\u2019m trying as much as I can to deal with it and push myself as much as I can.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tHave you set any goal for yourself bearing in mind that you are approaching a hundred games for Hoffenheim?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tI spoke to my coach and psychologist and they told me not to think about it because the more you think about it, the worse it gets. It\u2019s not so easy coming back from injury.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tYour close friend at Hoffenheim Demba Ba left for England and he is doing well. Have you ever contemplated joining him in the English Premier League?\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tHonestly, anything can happen. I think it\u2019s time for me because I have been in Hoffenheim for four years. I really love the club because they helped me in my growing up as a football player but somehow I think it\u2019s time for me to make a change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tHow do you see the rebuilding process embarked upon by the coach Stephen Keshi in the Super Eagles? <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tAs everyone can see, I think the team is fighting again and we are trying to play differently. So I think everything is going to work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tWe could have done better in the friendly games we have played. But the most important thing was the way we played. We wanted to move forward and play as fast as we could and I am glad we did that. Unluckily, we couldn\u2019t get a goal against Botswana but we got two against Zambia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tWhat difference do you think Keshi could bring into the national team?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tEverybody knows Keshi. He helped qualify Togo for the World Cup. I think he is a very intelligent coach, he is very friendly as well and knows how to deal with the players.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tI am really happy to work with him. We were in Benin and Kaduna for a few days, so we didn\u2019t really have much time to get to know everything or get to know each other properly. I think everything is going well and I see a positive Eagles with time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
