Otto Addo confident in the quality of assembled Ghana squad to seal 2022 WC qualification
Ghana head coach, Otto Addo says he is confident his assembled squad will be able to overcome Nigeria in the playoff of the qualifiers to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Germany-based tactician is already in Kumasi with his squad as intensive training begins ahead of the first leg meeting of the clash against the playoff opponent.
Speaking in a video aired by the Ghana FA on Monday, Coach Otto Addo said although the encounter would be difficult, he is confident his players have what it takes to defeat Nigeria over the course of the two legs.
“Matches between Ghana and Nigeria are always difficult but we believe in our players, we believe in our strategies and we believe in the unflinching support of all Ghanaians as we go into these two matches. We are Ghana and we have what it takes to come out victorious,” Otto Addo said.
He added, “We’re only a few days away from playing a crucial match against our rivals Nigeria. We all expect Ghana to qualify for the FIFA World Cup (Qatar 2022) but that won’t be easy as we need to do our best to make it to this tournament.
“The players, the technical team, and the Ghana Football Association are committed to this task. We really want to make ourselves and the nation proud by qualifying for this upcoming World Cup.”
The first leg meeting between Ghana and Nigeria will be played on Friday, March 25, 2022.
The game is scheduled to be staged at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and will kick off at 19:30GMT.
