Hat- Trick Hero, Kelechi Dedicates Goals To\u00a0 late Mum<\/p>\n
Kelechi Ihenacho, Golden Eaglets match ball winner following a hat trick in the 7\u00a0 0 win over Congo Brazzavile, has dedicated all his four goals at the CAF U-17 championship to his late mother.<\/p>\n
Iheanacho described his mother, Mrs. Mercy Iheanacho who died after a brief illness last February at the Emekuku General Hospital in Owerri North, as unforgettable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember my mother today and I wished she is alive to witness this; may God grant her good rest,\u201d stated the player who graduated through the NFF U-13 and U-15 teams.<\/p>\n
Kelechi opened his U-17 tournament in the Golden Eaglets 6-1 battering of Black Starlets and added a hat trick on Saturday against Congo. He has established himself as one of the team’s ruthless strikers and is still leading the pack with 25 goals as compared with Isaac Success who has scored 24 all in both friendly and competitive matches.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no rivalry between Success and I or any other member of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a collective effort because we don’t count the number of Goals we have.<\/p>\n
When we win, we win as a team and nobody is looking for personal glory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would continue to assist ourselves until we achieve our objective of winning the 2013CAF under 17 trophy\u201d, Iheanacho noted.<\/p>\n
