AKOR ADAMS: "THERE IS NO TIME TO REST OR ADAPT"

Akor Adams doesn't want to waste time. After picking up an untimely injury the week after his debut in Sevilla shirt, the Nigerian winger is determined to make the most of this international break to be fully prepared for the final stretch of the season. That means training even when the squad is given a day off: "It was difficult to get injured, yes, and not be part of the group and help the group. But

I think they've made it very easy for me from the medical staff, from the physical trainers. And yeah, I just had it. I just had to be patient and come back to training.

The last match against Athletic Club was the first time he picked up minutes playing in Nervión: " I'm not happy with the result, but I'm happy that I can have my first home debut and not in the way I wanted it. But in general to come back from the injury. I know that I can play a game. For me that was good.

I am very, very happy, for that comes a lot of responsibility. So for me it's to do my best, stay, fit and try to give them something to be happy about every week. 

"'I'm just excited to experience my fist Gran Derbi and I hope it goes our way"

The next challenge will be facing his first Gran Derbi: "I think for us inside, if you come in the dressing room is more like, yes, we know we represent Sevilla and it's a very big derby, but we just want to do our best and get as much points as possible and also. I'm just excited. I'm just excited to experience it and I hope it goes our way. I think you have to be a Sevilla player to experience being a Sevilla player. I don't know how I can explain it, but you're walking in the shoes of great, great, great players and it's just a privilege. 

Por ello, quiere aprovechar el tiempo al máximo: "There's no time for adaptation. I think the club now has an objective and as a striker or as a player I would do my best to help the group and the most important thing is we meet our objective and then we can see what happens next season.". That is certainly easier when you get on well with people in the dressing room: They're top guys, really top guys and guys who love to work hard and also play hard. So it's a very good mixture of different nationalities, different characters and for me it's top. If I need something, I can ask Loic Badé or I ask Lukébakio, all the guys are very open but Chidi especially helps me a lot."
