“The Super Eagles Are Strong, but We’re Ready to Win” – Ghana Coach Didi Dramani
Black Galaxies head coach, Didi Dramani, remains confident that his team can secure a win against their long-time rivals, Nigeria, to claim a spot in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
After a goalless draw in the first leg held in Accra last weekend, both teams are set to face off in the decisive return leg at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo today.
Speaking during a press conference in Uyo, Dramani showed that he believed in his team’s ability to finish the job.
“We had more chances in Accra but were just unlucky not to score. It’s in the past now,” Dramani stated.
“Today is another opportunity to get the goals and seal our qualification for CHAN.”
He acknowledged the strength of the Nigerian team, noting that matches between the two countries are always intense.
“Nigeria has a strong side, and it’s never easy when we meet.
But we are ready to step up our game,” he added.
“We’ll play with an attacking mindset and aim to return to Ghana with a win.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
