PROMPT NEWS: Do you think you are going to get playing time in Congo?
SOKARI: I am not bothered if I play or not in Congo, the most important thing is for us to get the three points at stake .It’s a very big game in Congo but I believe the way the coach talk to us, the approach and everything coupled with the good players we have, victory on Saturday is sure.
PROMPT NEWS: Having played in the local league for some time and currently with Enyimba FC, when are you looking to join the swelling number of players playing their trade abroad?
