Super Eagles invitee speaks after Udinese’s loss to West Ham

Udinese, who lost to Moye’s West Ham sits in 8th place in the Italian league table, having won 6 games out of 14.

Super Eagles invitee, Kingsley Ehizibue, said that despite losing to Westham, his side gave a good performance.

The Serie A team was defeated 3-1 by West Ham in their most recent match at the Dacia Arena.

David Moyes’ squad defeated Udinese on Saturday thanks to goals from Said Benrahma, Manuel Lanzini, and Michail Antonio.

Roberto Pereyra’s goal gave West Ham United an early setback, but they fought back to create many chances and take advantage of three of them to defeat their Serie A rivals.

After the loss, Ehizibue, who received an invitation from Gernot Rohr in 2020 for the 2021 AFCON qualifiers, talked on Udinese TV.

 “We had a good game, we played well. We have to improve it’s true, but it’s normal, we’ll do it step by step. We have a strong team, I think it’s a team worthy of Europe. Even in defense, however, I found myself well. I’m learning a lot from my teammates like Becao, Bijol, who I watch a lot during training.” he said.

However, the defender is eager to return to action when his club plays Empoli in January.

“With Empoli we want to win. Sottil is a coach who talks a lot with me and with my team-mates. It’s good, even today he gave me many indications.”

The Nigerian international joined the Italian team from FC Koln last summer window.
