Ighalo has been subjected to a lot of criticisms from the Nigerian media and fans in the social media for his inability to beat River Plate goalkeeper Franco Armani
But the 29-year-old has fired back saying he should not be crucified for Nigeria’s early exit from the tournament, Punch News reported.
The former Watford striker said his teammates didn’t criticise him for spurning the great opportunities after the match.
“It’s sad for me, it’s a sad day for the boys, a sad for the country because we went out in a bad manner, and we were even denied a penalty,” Ighalo told reporters at a post-match conference at the Mixed Zone.
“I missed a couple of chances that would have finished the game but that’s football because sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
“I take this upon me, because if I had taken those chances I had, that would have been a different ball game now.”
