Super Eagles’ interim manager, Finidi George, has said that his team would approach tomorrow’s international friendly game against Ghana as if it is a cup final.
George said he expects a tough fight from the Black Stars. Although the match is described as a friendly game, George said matches between the rivals have always been feisty, adding, “There is nothing friendly in games between Nigeria and Ghana.”
“We finished in second place at the Africa Cup of Nations, and everyone expects us to maintain that high rating and be better in a short while. We aim to get good results in these two matches and stay positive ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. George disclosed that injuries have knocked out four of the invited players for the matches.However, “I have confidence in the team that we have here that they will wear the green-white-green with pride and with patriotic fervour.”
The Black Stars had their first training sessionin Morocco on Tuesday with 16 players. But they had more players in yesterday’s session with Tariq Lamptey, Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, Kasim Nuhu, Antoine Semenyo, Abdul Samed Salis, Patrick Kpozo, Alidu Seidu, Joseph Wollacott, Abdul FatawuIssahaku, Denis Odoi, Ernest Nuamah, Osman Ibrahim, Abdulai Nurudeen, and Fredrick Asare in attendance.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
