Sarawak top scorer at the moment, Ndumba Makeche is enjoying life at Stadium Negeri with him not only listing himself on top of the Sarawak score sheet, but also putting himself at the top of the goal assist list in the team this season.

In our brief interview, Makeche admitted that he is thrilled to be injury free, and is hopeful he can continue his good scoring run in the second half of the season. He aimed to increase his goal tally to double digits, but prefers to win games than aim for personal scoring goals because he dislikes losing matches.
The 24-year old Australian national added that he was frustrated he had to be sidelined at the start of the season, but his great from ever since he regained his match fitness, has made him confident when approaching every game.
Makeche also admitted that he is very happy to know the fans are happy with his current form, but added that he will continue to work harder to score and assist the team to win more matches in the coming Malaysia Cup and Liga Super.
When asked if the long Liga Super break would jeopardize his current good form, Makeche responded positively. He said “I’m used to the breaks! It’s Malaysian fooball and the most important thing is to keep fit. Rest is important, but I will keep myself fit regardless of where I am. I am going home to Perth with my family in a couple of days during this break, but I have a personal trainer there to maintain my fitness“.
As a huge fan of Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, Makeche stated that he follows Mancheter United keenly, but has a strong connection with Perth Glory, the A-League side which brought him into professional football.
Makeche further stated that he has yet to try any local food, but loved the fact that Kuching is such a nice quiet place to live in if compared to Kuala Lumpur, adding that the people here are more open minded and nice.
