Odion Ighalo, the former Super Eagles forward, has expressed his determination to turn around the fortunes of Al Wehda by revealing his next three desperate moves after a frustrating 2-2 draw against Al Feiha in the Saudi Pro League.
Despite delivering a solid performance and scoring a key goal, Ighalo and his teammates found themselves mired in a five-match winless streak, comprising three losses and two draws, Footballrover reports.
In the latest match at King Abdul Aziz Stadium, Al Wehda started positively, with Meshal Al-Alaeli putting the team ahead within the first five minutes.
However, their defence faltered as Al Feiha equalised in the 74th minute through Alejandro Pozuelo.
Ighalo quickly restored the lead with a goal just eight minutes later, marking his third goal of the season.

Ighalo’s commitment to recovery
Frustrated by the recent results, Ighalo took to social media to share his resolve, saying,

This message obviously goes deeply straight to both the players and the fans as the team prepares for its upcoming match against Al-Raed later today.
In light of the disheartening winless run, could it be that Ighalo has just dropped a cryptic message, revealing three urgent strategies his team must implement to reignite their ambitions?
Firstly, he emphasises the need for a mental reset, urging his teammates to clear their minds of past disappointments.
Secondly, he advocates for a tactical overhaul, focussing on strengthening their defence to prevent late-game collapses.
Lastly, Ighalo insists on refocusing their energy in training to enhance team cohesion and performance.
With these strategies, Ighalo aims to transform Al Wehda’s fortunes and inspire a return to winning ways.
