Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo has revealed his two worst moments playing for the Super Eagles.
Since the game against the Black Star, the Al-Hilal forward is yet to feature for the three-time African champions.“The two worst experiences I had with the Super Eagles was the game against Argentina at the 2018 World Cup when I missed a chance and the whole of Nigeria wanted to bury me alive,” Ighalo told“Also the last World Cup which we did not qualify for was another bad time for me. I believe we had the tools and everything in our possession to qualify for that World Cup.
“We were playing at home, which was an advantage. The stadium was crowded that day and that was an advantage for us. “But due to some circumstances or selfish reasons for some people, we did not get to qualify. However, we have to look forward.”All rights reserved.
