Iwobi Opens up on how his Hairstyle, Fashion and Music have Helped Him > 자유게시판

Alex Iwobi is discussing the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairstyle has helped his football in what he views as his best start to a Premier League season so far.

'Yeah, that in fact plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder states.

'My father's in your home and he's most likely heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't desire to cut it off so I thought let's do something different that nobody else has. I literally told the hair stylist to 'express yourself' but not too wild. It's wild since it's red and purple at the moment however I like it. My papa's accepted it now so I'm simple.'

It's a plain contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal launching under Arsene Wenger in 2015.

Iwobi insists that he's always had the state of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football however has actually only revealed himself more in the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching singles and launching his charitable foundation, Project 17.

'It's constantly been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's only recently that I have actually been expressing myself a lot more, to reveal individuals that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he says.

This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work cut out as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 100 families for Christmas as part of Project 17.

For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his hometown, where everything will be totally free in a local supermarket.

'You know what Liverpool resemble - it's going to be an intense game but whether I get constrain or have no hamstrings, I will be there on Sunday,' Iwobi stresses.

'In your house I was raised in, my daddy naturally simply returned. To people in Nigeria, to his family and even individuals in the street - he would just buy bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and daddy are has influenced me to provide to others, whether they are fortunate or less lucky. With the position I remain in, I seem like it's only right with the impact I have that I provide back too.'

Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi believes is the trick to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has actually currently scored more objectives than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is just two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.

'As a you wish to do your finest to impress the manager and want everyone to understand you are fully focused on football. But it (liberty) includes age, being free and not being pushed about unfavorable comments. If it's positive, you do not mind the criticism,' he says.

'You have to be strong psychologically. Players do well when they're confident and with me, feeling great to reveal myself on and off the pitch, I practically feel unstoppable. And when you have people that back you, it truly plays a part.'

One of those individuals that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't hesitate when he had the opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day in 2015. After his brace versus Brighton last week, Silva stated it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League up until now' and he concurs.

Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?'

'I have actually been associated with a lot of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might say it's my best start to the season - I simply have to keep it going and make sure it's my best season. That's the objective' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for offering him 'the license to reveal' himself. 'It's great to have a supervisor who gives you the confidence to do that,' he states.

Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the very first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is referred to as a celebration of his African roots with a mix of Afro-Swing mixed with Rap".

It's also a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing space, with Fulham making their best start to a top-flight season since 2003-04.

'I don't get it on in the dressing space however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he just can't assist himself, Iwobi exposes.

'He is tapping the manager to listen to the song. The very first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was simply vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin was like 'yes it's Alex!' He said it wasn't bad. I understand the very first time he didn't comprehend what was said but he enjoyed the beat. So it's a win-win.

'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having great feedback from the team - even individuals who don't speak English as their mother tongue like the Brazilians, they're vibing as well,' includes Iwobi.

Silva's plan at Everton was to construct around the midfielder however he was sacked 4 months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez barely played him at all.

Iwobi would take a trip throughout the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in camouflage to enjoy his football again. Now that joy has been found after his ₤ 22M relocation in 2015.

'Everyone's frame of mind is one for all and all for one so that's definitely assisting us this season. We have actually been having group meals and bonding which's brought a great deal of togetherness, says Iwobi.

'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We organised a trip to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), came back then went once again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We seem like we're all set to fly and we can do anything together.'

Another team meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of three video games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wishes to take us out. That's another little free food so I'm not complaining,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's truly great. It's like one huge family.'

But first, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having taken points from Arsenal recently and directly losing at Man City in October in a game where Pep Guardiola had plenty of credit for Fulham.

'It reveals we have the capability to contend with anybody. We are not frightened. Hopefully it will be the exact same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi firmly insists.

Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing room.
