I won’t set goals target –Ighalo

Nigeria International and Watford FC striker, Odion Ighalo has insisted he would not set any goals target for himself this season as that has not been his practice in the past.

Speaking with mtnfootball.com on his brace in the game against Liver­pool last weekend, the Watford strik­er noted there was nothing special about his goals.

Ighalo had now fired 12 goals in the EPL, but he maintained there was nothing special about the goals against Liverpool.

“I thank God for giving me the grace to score two goals against Liv­erpool. I give him the glory. I see nothing special about scoring against Liverpool, it’s the same feeling for scoring goal and it doesn’t matter against which team,” Ighalo said.

The forward’s double against Liv­erpool left him just three goals be­hind leader Jamie Vardy in the divi­sion’s scoring charts.

It remains to be seen just how many goals he can finish his maiden Premier League campaign with, but the former Granada and Udinese ace was refusing to set himself any tar­gets.

“I give God all the glory for my goals and the victory,” he said.

“Last season I never set a target and this season I haven’t either.

“I will never set myself a target as then I put pressure on myself. I want to keep going game by game.

“When the team wins a game that is the most important.

In the meantime, Ighalo has cred­ited manager Quique Flores for Wat­ford’s run in the EPL.

“He is one of the best coaches I’ve worked with in terms of game plans and encouraging his players. He is a very intelligent guy and deserves big credit for everything we are going through now,” Ighalo remarked.
