“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.”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
