2019 AFCON Q: Rohr Wants Ighalo To Emerge Highest Goal Scorer

Rohr Wants Ighalo To Emerge As AFCON Highest Goal Scorer By Admin Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has asserted that it will be his personal wish if Odion Ighalo is able to emerge from the shadows of his other rival in the race for the AFCON qualifiers highest scorer. Ighalo has six goals same as Fiston Abdul Razak of Burundi but Rohr told journalists that they will help the China based striker to score a few goals and end up as the top scorer during the qualifiers to silent his critics who wrote him off after the World Cup in Russia. The attacker didn’t have the best performance at the World Cup and seen missed an open net that could have taken the Eagles beyond Argentina to the second round of the World Cup but he fluffed them with the Argentine goalkeeper at his mercy. “We will support Ighalo to emerge as the highest scorer at the AFCON qualifiers. He is on six goals the same as the Burundi player (Fiston Abdul Razak) but we will do our best to help him to silence his critics who wrote him off after the World Cup,” Rohr told journalists. “He has a possibility to achieve that and his players will be there to support him.”
