“Football is not simple. Everyone might say it is easy but it’s not” – Kelechi Iheanacho hints at struggling at his new club, Sevilla FC.
Kelechi Iheanacho’s statement about football not being simple is quite relatable, especially considering his current situation at Sevilla FC.
The Nigerian striker has had a slow start since joining the LaLiga side on a free transfer this summer, making only two league appearances so far.
However, Sevilla’s manager, Garcia Pimienta, has expressed confidence in Iheanacho’s abilities, attributing his slow start to fatigue from international duty.
Iheanacho himself has also spoken about the challenges of adapting to a new team and environment, but he’s determined to give his all and help the team achieve great success.
It’s clear that Iheanacho is facing some challenges at Sevilla FC, but with the support of his manager and his own hard work, he’s likely to bounce back and make a significant impact on the team.
Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?
The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.
“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
