Veteran coach Josef Emmanuel Sarpong has revealed how Ghana can defeat Nigeria to secure qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup play-off later this month.
The Black Stars will play the Super Eagles in a two-legged encounter, with the winner of both legs securing qualification to the World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana will play host to Nigeria on March 25, 2022, before the reverse fixture at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
According to the former Kotoko and Hearts of Oak trainer, the technical handlers of the Black Stars led by Otto Addo must oil the midfield and sharpen the attack to ensure qualification at the expense of Nigeria.
“In goalkeeping, the trainer [Richard Kingston] should have penciled just about five key goalkeepers for observation for the upcoming match but not as many as 15 goalkeepers that he said publicly that he was currently observing for a single match,”
“Apart from goalkeeping, other departments that need to be strengthened to build a formidable team against Nigeria are the midfield and attack.
"We need to oil the midfield and sharpen the attack to ensure that we create and utilise the chances we create for us to win this crucial match and book a ticket to the Qatar 2022 Would Cup tournament.”
