World cup iheanacho looking forward to game against idol messi

I think there may be some confusion here!

Kelechi Iheanacho is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Leicester City and the Nigeria national team. While he is indeed a talented player, I'm not aware of any information that suggests he has an idol or a particular fascination with Lionel Messi, the Argentine professional footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the Argentina national team.

However, it's possible that Iheanacho may have expressed admiration for Messi's skills and achievements on the pitch, as many football fans around the world do. But I'm not aware of any specific quotes or statements from Iheanacho that suggest he is particularly looking forward to playing against Messi in a World Cup match.

If you have any more information or context about this, I'd be happy to try and help clarify things!
