Ighalo Pledges To Ante Up Best Effort Against Libya

Changchun Yatai of China striker, Odion Jude Ighalo has promised to give his best effort yet with the Super Eagles in Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, reports BSNSports.com.ng. Ighalo, who has been pilloried of recent for blunt outings and lack of goals scoring form with the national team, acknowledged it is a crucial game that Nigeria must win, and pledged to help the Eagles snatch the much-desired home victory. However, the former Watford of England star added that he will need unflinching support from the fans and lots of luck for him to make hay at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium. While offering to give his best effort during the game, Ighalo stressed that he would not be able to make any mark on his own, except he gets enough backing from the fans in the stands and adequate support from his teammates on the pitch.
