Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has said he is not frightened by the big names in the Serbia squad that will face Nigeria in Tuesday’s international friendly in London.
“I’m not interested in facing any particular person or name, the game is Nigeria vs Serbia,” Ighalo told sports radio station, Brila Fmon Monday.
Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic, Roma defender and Serbia captain, Aleksander Kolarov and Zenith St. Petersburg’s Branislav Ivanovic are some of the Serbia stars that would be on parade against the Eagles.
Matic, who was part of The Eagles side that lost 1-2 to Morocco last Friday, lasted only 67 minutes before he was replaced.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria face the Eagles of Serbia five days after defeating Poland by a lone goal in their first friendly for the year.
The former Watford striker, who fired blanks in London, said he was happy with the result against Poland but has shifted his attention to Serbia.
Meanwhile, Serbia trained on Monday morning at the Barnet FC Stadium.
