IHEANACHO UNFAZED BY LACK OF PLAYING TIME

Manchester City whiz Kelechi Iheanacho is confident that he will have the chance to play regularly for the Citizens someday. The Nigerian starlet is not fazed by the lack of steady playing time he has had at the
club but remains upbeat about the chances of making his mark with the Citizens.

Iheanacho came off the substitute bench to score in the City’s 4-1 defeat of Hull City in a Capital One quarter final game played at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

Despite being overlooked in his side’s 3-1 defeat of Southampton, the former Flying Eagles’ star stressed he is relishing life at the club and that his time would come.

“City is a big team and I am just coming up as a young player, so I am not worried,” Iheanacho told club website.

“One day I will start playing regularly for the team. There are plenty of good players in the EDS and I feel like I am flying the flag for them – they can all do what I am doing.

“I get the feeling the fans love me and I love them as well!

“They talk to me every day in training, giving me advice and encouraging me to keep going and doing well.
“They tell me I will be a great player one day, so I will keep listening and working hard.

“The manager also gives me great advice, telling me to play simple and score goals.

“It’s always a pleasure to score a goal and it was a good goal, a good reaction to run to the front post.
“I anticipate every time someone is crossing the ball – I knew where Raheem would put [the cross] so I made the run,” he concluded.
