Nigeria soccer star, Kelechi Iheanacho is certain he's going to have a good working relationship with new Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola.
Iheanacho who was very impressive last season scoring 14 goals is looking forward to an even better performance next season. “Everyone knows Pep and what he can do. I think he’s a great manager and I think he’ll bring many things to this team. I haven’t met him yet and haven’t spoken to him. I think we’ll meet him in training.


He continued, “It was a great season last season. I worked hard and did very well, but last season is the past and in the next season I need to work hard and I’ll get my chance.I can play number nine, 10, seven and 11, so I don’t have any [concerns]. I can play different positions. Anywhere I can fit in, I will play. We have great players and we’ve made some great new signings, so I just need to work hard and I’ll get my chance to play." he said

I hope they will also do this when they return to Nigeria. As part of their community service organised by the local organizing committee for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand, Flying Eagles players visited the children's ward of the New Plymouth Hospital.

They spent quality time with the ailing children, played football, signed autographs, posed for photographs and donated cash to them.

Spotted at the hospital were Kelechi Iheanacho, Taiwo Awoniyi, Chidera Eze, Bernard Bulbwa and Izu Omego. 

"I like children and so I was happy to come and put a smile on the faces of some of them who are ill. I hope they all get well quickly and return to school."  Iheanacho said.
