Didi Dramani Confident of Ghana's Victory in Return Leg Against Nigeria in 2024 CHANQ
The Black Galaxies of Ghana are set for a crucial second leg against Nigeria's Super Eagles B in the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers. The first leg, held at the Accra Sports Stadium, ended in a goalless draw, leaving both teams vying for a place in next year’s tournament, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Ghana's head coach, Didi Dramani, acknowledged the tactical approach of the Nigerian side, which focused on a defensive game with quick counter-attacks. Dramani pointed out that facing a team with such a strategy is always challenging, as it creates space for dangerous transitions when the attacking team pushes forward. He emphasized the need for Ghana to stay cautious while maintaining a forward-thinking approach in the return leg.
Reflecting on the first leg, Dramani noted that Ghana’s performance showed promise, with the team displaying good ball control and movement, and the ability to take advantage of spaces. However, the coach stressed the importance of avoiding Nigeria’s transition play, which had proven effective in the first match. Dramani highlighted that, despite the draw, the game was still open, and both teams had a fair chance to secure a victory. He expressed confidence in his team's ability to execute the right tactics and make necessary adjustments for the second leg. With a strong performance in the first leg, Ghana will be looking to capitalize on their strengths and avoid repeating the mistakes that allowed Nigeria to exploit counter-attacking opportunities.
The decisive second leg will take place on December 28 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, where Ghana will aim to outplay Nigeria and secure their spot in the prestigious tournament. Dramani’s optimism reflects his belief in the team’s abilities, and he remains hopeful that Ghana will be able to learn from their past encounters with Nigeria. The Black Galaxies will be seeking to turn the draw into a win and secure their qualification for the 2024 CHAN, with Dramani hopeful that his team’s tactical improvements will lead them to success.
