I thank God for the way things went for me.<br /><br />&ldquo; About my performance, I will say I am satisfied but of course I want to give more because there is still a long way to go. &rdquo; <br /><br />Sylvester Igboun is currently in Moscow waiting to board a flight to Ufa, having departed Lagos on Wednesday.<br /><br />He has featured 5 times in the Russian Premier League this season for his new club, scoring once.<br />
