Black Galaxies of Ghana head coach, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has said his team’s major focus is on the upcoming clash with Nigeria and not the rivalry between both countries.
Dramani declared that his players must be ready to channel the pressure of facing their perennial rivals positively.
” We focus on the team rather than the rivalry. While we respect the history, we are more with our technical, tactical, and psychological preparation,”Dramani told CAFonline.
“The players are reminded to channel the pressure positively, emphasizing collective performance over individual efforts.”
Dramani also discussed his team’s strategies for the highly anticipated encounter.
“We’ve worked on defining clear playing values—being goal-oriented, aggressive, and effective in both attack and defense,”he added.
” We emphasize controlling spaces and maintaining composure under pressure. Training sessions are modeled exactly like matches to replicate real-game intensity.
“We’re also carefully analyzing Nigeria’s style and integrating tactical adjustments without losing focus on our strengths.”
Ghana will host the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The second leg is slated for the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo next week Saturday.
