Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, has emphasized that their upcoming Unity Cup clash against long-time rivals Nigeria is far more than just a friendly match.
The two West African heavyweights are set to face off once again, this time at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford on Wednesday night.
The Super Eagles had the upper hand the last time both sides met, securing a 2-1 win in a friendly played in Marrakech, Morocco.
Determined to turn the tide, Addo expressed his squad’s desire to claim victory this time around.
“I think everyone knows what it’s about, surely, it’s a friendly game, but it’s not really a friendly game,” he said, as published on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) website.
“So yeah, we know what it’s about, and we want our people to be proud of us, and we want our people to talk from a certain perspective, and surely, it’s always about who has the better team. And sometimes margins can decide the outcome of the game.”
Kick-off for the highly anticipated showdown is scheduled for 7:00 pm Nigerian time.
