Didi Dramani Confident Ghana is Ready to Take on Nigeria in CHAN Qualifier
Ghana’s Black Galaxies head coach, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, has expressed confidence in his team’s preparation for the upcoming 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against Nigeria.
The two footballing giants will face off this month, with both sides vying for a spot in the competition.
The first leg of the crucial qualifier is scheduled to take place on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium, a venue that has been a hub of Ghanaian footballing history.
A week later, the return leg will be held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria, where the Black Galaxies will look to seal their place in the final tournament.
Speaking to Ghana Guardian, Dramani shared his thoughts on the high stakes of the match, stating, “In football, when you want to get to the top, you should be ready to meet the top liners.
For me, it was not surprising that we were meeting in Nigeria.”
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.”
