Ighalo: We have to keep our head down despite win over Argentina

Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has warned his national teammates not to be carried away by the team’s smooth sail during the qualifiers and the recent 4-2 victory over South American giant-Argentina.
Ighalo further warned that using the easy run and the victory over the Albiceleste as Eagles arrival at the global stage could spell doom for Nigeria at the competition proper in Russia.

While speaking at the launch of his pet project-Ighalo Orphanage Home in Janaith Hotel, Ajah, the Changchun Yatai striker admitted it was not a small feat qualifying for the Mundial without losing a game from a group that had Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia and recently coming back from two nil down to beat an argentine side that paraded some of the best players in the world.

“Naturally, such feat should be a morale booster to the team with the World Cup just few months away but it could also have a ripple effect as the team might get carried away by such achievements at the competition proper.

“We should just put behind those little successes and focus properly on what is coming ahead of us if we really want to do well in Russia,” Ighalo reasoned.
