Nigeria head coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, has vowed that his team will adjust their strategy to neutralize Ghana’s strengths ahead of their 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) playoffs.
The first leg of the tie will take place on Sunday, December 22, at the Accra Sports Stadium, with the return leg scheduled for Saturday, December 28, at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
In an interview with CAFOnline, Ogunmodede acknowledged the difficulty in gathering detailed information about Ghana but assured that the Super Eagles have thoroughly studied the Black Galaxies’ playing style.
“We have been meticulously analyzing Ghana’s gameplay and identifying key areas where they excel,” he said.
“Though it’s been challenging to gather sufficient information on individual players due to the visibility of their league, we’re devising tactical strategies to capitalize on our strengths while exploiting potential vulnerabilities in Ghana’s approach.
“Our team is prepared to adapt dynamically during the match to neutralize their strengths effectively,” he added.
Ogunmodede emphasized that his team will remain flexible during the match, ready to adapt in order to counter Ghana’s strengths.
In the previous CHAN competition, Ghana defeated Nigeria on penalties to secure a place in the tournament, only to be eliminated in the quarterfinals.
The 2024 CHAN will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
