2019 Afcon: Ighalo Speaks On Super Eagles Clash With Egypt

China-based Super Eagles forward Odion Ighalo has said Nigeria’s game against Egypt is a good preparation for the team ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The Shanghai Shenhua striker believes the games will help the team a whole lot as they prepare for the tournament.

“We are in a good direction, we just want to continue to work hard together as a team, not to feel relaxed just because we have gotten the ticket to the Afcon,” Ighalo said.

“Its one thing to qualify and its another thing to go there and perform and that is what we want to do.”

He added that “We want to compete, we want to do better than what the Eagles before us has done in the past, I just want us to keep the concentration level high, and who knows – everything is possible.”
