Prolific Iceland Striker: It Will Be Interesting To Face Awaziem, Nigeria Under Pressure
Published: February 08, 2018
In an interview with the official website of Nantes, prolific Iceland international striker Kolbeinn Sigþórsson is targeting a spot in the national team's roster for the 2018 World Cup and thinks Nigeria will be under more pressure when they face off at Volgograd Arena, Volgograd on June 22.
Sigþórsson is a teammate of Super Eagles defender Chidozie Awaziem and both have been previewing the clash.
''If things are going well, I hope I can be part of it (the World Cup). There is still a long way to go for me. But if I get in shape and if I play regularly, I see myself go well,'' said Sigþórsson.
''We have a lot of quality attackers. It will not be easy. But I remain positive and I hope I can be there.''
Asked if he has spoken to Awaziem, Sigþórsson answered : ''We talked a bit about it. We never played against each other. It will be an interesting match.
''Nigeria has a good team. It will be interesting to see how we can do. I will put some pressure on him before the match. Iceland is a small country. All the pressure will be on them.''
Kolbeinn Sigþórsson, 27, has scored 22 goals in 44 matches for the Icelandic team, and is famous for scoring against England at the 2016 European Championship.
