Super Eagles striker Odion Jude Ighalo has set his gaze on the FIFA Club World Cup claiming his side Al Hilal will be the team to beat at the tournament in Morocco.
The championship which is scheduled for February 1 to 11 will have Real Madrid and Flamengo, current European and South American champions who are firm favourites to win the competition.
However, Ighalo believe the chances of winning the tournament is possible.
“Everything is possible in football. Nowadays you can’t predict what’s going to happen. If you work hard and fight hard on the field of play you can do anything.” Ighalo said as quoted on FIFA website
“Look at Morocco at the World Cup, for instance. Nobody gave them a chance. They got to the semi-final and they almost got to the final. I believe Al Hilal can fight and get to the final and win it, because in football it’s possible to do anything when you work hard and believe in yourself.”
Seattle Sounders, Auckland City and Wydad Casablanca are other teams that will participate in the competition.
