  Championship: "I'm Still Adjusting To English Football" - Ekong By Sampson Adedeji Despite his amazing performance in the club last match against Bournemouth, Nigeria's Super Eagles and Watford FC defender William Troost Ekong has stated that he is still adjusting to the speed of English football, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Ekong moved to the Vicarage Road this summer from the Italia Serie A side Udinese and has his full 90 minute game against the Cherries last weekend. While speaking to the club website, Ekong said is still feeling hamstring injury but believe I can perform better if I attained full fitness level. “I managed to hang on,” he said. “I felt my hamstring a bit. I'm still adjusting to the speed of the game as my last game with my [former] club was the third of August. I'm still working on my match fitness so I'm happy to get 90 minutes in my legs. The Championship is a different type of football. It's more direct and you don't have so much time with the ball. It's good quality, from what I've seen, and I'm looking forward to the next game," he said. Troost Ekong, Mikel Obi and other Nigeria stars would be involved when midweek football returns this week, check out MelBet Nigeria for all the betting information you need.
