It Will Be Hard For Nigeria To Beat Ghana – Jay Jay Okocha

Jay-Jay Okocha has explained why Nigeria will not have it easy when they face Ghana in next month’s 2022 Fifa World Cup qualification play-off.
The Super Eagles are aiming to qualify for the global football showpiece for the seventh time, albeit, they must negotiate their way past their eternal rivals, Black Stars.

Augustine Eguavoen’s men travel to the Cape Coast Stadium for the first leg before hosting the reverse fixture at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja on March 27.

The former Bolton Wanderers midfielder, 48 – who managed 73 international appearances for the three-time African champions with 14 goals to his credit – hinted that the African classic would be tough.

“Ghana versus Nigeria match is never an easy one. It is more about the rivalry, it is a pride match and a bragging right one,” Okocha was quoted on Thisdaylive website.

“For me, what is most important is to get the ticket. It doesn’t matter how, even if we don’t play beautiful football.

“What is important is getting the ticket to the World Cup in Qatar. It is the result that matters.”
