Ahead of the game, you can learn more about Irish attacker Umeh, who answered a series of quick-fire questions for our ‘Get to Know’ series.
Cristiano Ronaldo. From the first time I watched him, he was just wonderful. He can do everything. That’s what I want to do as well.
I’d say Ronaldo again! His lifestyle, how he treats himself. It’s just amazing.
Funny, loud, sometimes a joker. It depends on the team-mate you ask. Some people might say I’m nice, some people might say I’m jumpy!
I like to play basketball a lot.
It would definitely have to be LeBron (James)!
I’d go for jollof rice.
Rafael Leao. We’re the same height. He’s fast, powerful, good at dribbling, likes to shoot. That’s what I like to do too.
That’s a good question! It would either be flying or super-strength. I’ll go for flying.
Having this opportunity is wonderful. It’s just joyful, you know?
