SUPER Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo has vowed to treat the game against Sihlangu the same as he would against Arsenal in the English Premiership League.
The former Nigeria U-20 skipper told one of the Nigerian publications that the Super Eagles would not afford to take the game against the locals light.
The Watford striker, who has scored seven goals in the EPL, said there were no longer any minnows in world football.
“There are no small countries in football and so I will prepare to play against Swaziland as I would against Arsenal. I give 101 per cent whenever I play for my country,” said the 26-year-old forward, who has scored two goals for the Super Eagles. Meanwhile, former Inter Milan star Obafemi Martins has vowed to score against the Harries ‘Madze’ Bulunga led charges.
“I am glad I am back. It’s the national team. I am just here to score goals and help the team win games,” the 31-year-old Martins said on Wednesday.
“The spirit in camp was good. We have talented young players. We have a new captain. Almost everything is new to me in the camp. But I am going to do my best for the team to ensure we win because this is a World Cup qualifier and not a friendly.
The only thing I am here for is to support them and help them win games,” he is quoted saying.
