Chidera Ejuke, a 28-year-old winger for Sevilla and member of Nigeria's Super Eagles, has publicly expressed his commitment to the team as they prepare for the crucial derby match against Real Betis. With the game scheduled for Sunday, Ejuke is keen to play any role that head coach Matías Almeyda requires, whether as a starter or as an impact substitute. This season, Ejuke has made 18 appearances and has contributed one goal and an assist, even as he faces scrutiny over his consistency on the pitch.

Almeyda has yet to decide on the starting lineup and has acknowledged the dilemma surrounding Ejuke's position in the team. Despite the uncertainty about his role, Ejuke remains focused and maintains that his goal is to be ready to contribute whenever called upon. His attitude reflects a team-first mentality, stating that he is indifferent to whether he starts or comes off the bench, emphasizing his desire to support the team's success whenever given the chance to play.

Additionally, Ejuke praised fellow Nigerian teammate Akor Adams, noting how a confident striker can uplift the overall performance of the attacking unit. This reflects a strong sense of camaraderie within the squad, as players rally around each other to enhance team dynamics. With the high stakes of the derby approaching, Ejuke’s readiness will be crucial for Sevilla as they aim to secure a vital win in their campaign against local rivals Real Betis.
