Akor Happy With Contribution
“I came back for the match after a long tournament, the team needed me and it’s good that the coach gave me minutes to energize the team and get the draw, Akor was quoted by mundodeportivo.com.
“I think they let down a few small details.We played a good game that we should normally have won . Elche is a good team, but we had many chances and I think we could have won.
“The most important thing is the team. I’ve watched all the games while I’ve been away, and the results weren’t what we wanted. We managed a draw, I scored, and I’m very happy for the team. We’re focused on what’s next.”
