Nigeria Interim Coach Finidi George Sends Warning to Ghana Ahead of Friendly in Morocco
Finidi George believes the international friendly between the Black Stars of Ghana and the Super Eagles of Nigeria is beyond ‘friendly’ due to the rivalry between the two nations.
The last time the two sides met, Ghana edged Nigeria to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
However, the Super Eagles seem to be on the ascendency after reaching the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where they lost to host Ivory Coast in the final.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars for the second consecutive time were eliminated from the group stages of the Nations Cup.
Despite their recent slump, Finidi George is not leaving any stone unturned ahead of the match in Marrakech on Friday.
“They call it friendly but there is nothing friendly when you play, especially Ghana,” he said, as quoted by Kick GH.
The Super Eagles will miss their top striker Victor Osimhen but the ex-Nigeria player insists the boys in camp are ready for Ghana.
“The team is prepared and they know what is at stake. That rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria is always there so that is an extra motivation for the players. I think we are good to go,” he added.
