Speaking to 3Sports, Eguavoen claimed the Spanish gaffer famous style which has earned him numerous titles is risky but loves it and could unleash it against the Black Stars.

“I love Pep Guardiola’s style of football. It’s a little bit risky, it keeps you on the edge but I love his style of football. But it’s a mixture. You have to mix it up. It depends on the reaction of our opponents,” Eguavoen said.

Nigeria are in search of their 7^th World Cup qualification and will have to edge past Ghana to achieve their target.

Nigeria have arrived in Kumasi for the much-anticipated clash on Friday.
