Nnamdi Oduamadi described his hat-trick against Tahiti at

Nnamdi Oduamadi described his hat-trick against Tahiti at
the Fifa Confederations Cup as 'massive' and says it is the reward of hard
work.
The goals have also earned him an immediate recall to his
parent club AC Milan.
"I am very happy. I really worked hard and getting
three goals in the Confederations Cup is massive for me," he told
KickOffNigeria.com.
Oduamadi, on loan to Varese from Milan, was to find out
just how massive it was indeed when he discovered that after his second goal,
AC Milan president Adriano Galliani called up manager Massimilliano Allegri and
directed him to bring the Nigerian back Milan's pre-season training camp.
"That's fantastic for me and I want to give glory to
God."
Oduamadi spent last season on loan at Varese, playing a
very good second half of the season after returning from injury, which cost him
a spot on Nigeria's Nations Cup squad.
But on a night of personal glory, Oduamadi, like the rest
of the Nigeria squad felt a tinge of disappointment not only at the numerous
missed opportunities, but also at his wrongfully disallowed goal.
"I'm a little bit disappointed that we missed so
many chances and that the referee cancelled a good goal which I scored.
"But let’s see what happens in the second
game."
