Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, has expressed his views on Ghana's upcoming FIFA international friendly against Nigeria, set to take place in Marrakech on Friday.

In a conversation with Ghana Football Association Communications, Addo shared his insights about the Nigerian team and the strategy he envisions for the match.

Addo stated that the Ghanaian team has been diligently studying their opponents and is well-prepared for the challenge. He acknowledged Nigeria's strong and experienced players, even though not all of them will be present for the friendly.

"I think we have observed them well, we know what to expect from them. They have really, really strong and experienced players, even though I guess not all of them are here. I think they have a very, very strong squad," he said.

"We expect them to be very hard to break against the ball but also with the ball, which you saw at the African Cup of Nations, they are really, really good in offensive transmissions, they have fast players on the wings, tall players upfront who can hold the ball no matter who comes, with a really, really solid back chain so it’s going to be tough.

"But we know what we can do and we know how to play against such a host and even though they went to the final, they showed in some matches that they are vulnerable so anything can happen. I am just hoping that we get a good start and we can end this game as the winning team,"
