Salisu Yusuf, the coach of the Nigerian Super Eagles B, is convinced that his squad can still qualify for Algeria 2023 by thrashing Ghana in Abuja.
In order for CHAN Nigeria to qualify for the Championship of African Nations ahead of Ghana, they will have to play above their weight levels with the hope of scoring three unanswered goals.
Coach Salisu thinks his team has learned crucial lessons from the first game and will take advantage of Ghana’s flaws in the second match.
“We have learnt from our mistakes and want to assure Nigerians that convincing victory is achievable in Abuja this Saturday if my players go according to the new match plans we have in stock for our opponents,” he told NFF TV.
“The Ghanaians are a good side but we need to prove that we are better. With our numerous fans in the stands, we can overcome the 2-0 goal deficit from the first leg in Cape Coast,” he added.
“We have an idea where their strength is as a team and we will seek how we can restrict their them and explore their weaknesses.”
Ghana travel to Abuja on Friday for the second leg on Sunday.
