Super Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo has explained why he has not been scoring goals for the team at the ongoing competition in Egypt. According to Ighalo who scored the lone goal in Nigeria’s opening game against Burundi blamed it on lack of enough passes from the midfield, stressing that as a striker one cannot deliver if he didn't get enough through passes. “You can count how many through passes I have gotten in the matches and if you don’t get passes, nothing better you can do as a striker,” he said. On the round of 16 game which may be against either Ghana or Benin Republic, Ighalo said they have done enough work to beat any team that comes their way from now onward. “We are taking every game one at a time. However, we are not promising anything. We have been working hard and everything will be different in the second round, “ he said.
