Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has assured Nigerians that they
will do everything possible to make them happy when they take on Iceland
in their second Group D game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Friday, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
The Super Eagles got off to a poor start following their 2-0 defeat to Croatia on Saturday.
An own goal by Oghenekaro Etebo and a penalty converted by Luka Modric gave Croatia their first opening group game win since France
1998.
Ighalo who was in action for the Super Eagles against Croatia
lamented the defeat to Croatia but stated he and his teammates are
preparing to beat Iceland.
“It’s a game of football, we did our best but our best was not
enough. We worked hard and in football whether win, lose or draw, the
game goes on,” the China-based striker said in a video posted by former
Super Eagles media officer Colin Udoh from Essentuki, Russia on Tuesday.
“We are not really happy about the loss but we are working very
hard towards the next game and hopefully we are going to do what we know
how to do best and make the fans happy again.”
