Former Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has explained why he feels the Black Stars strength is in the midfield department ahead of Friday’s 2022 World Cup qualifying playoffs with Nigeria.
Both countries will rekindle their rivalry when they take on each other in the playoffs for this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
While the Black Stars will host the first leg at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, the Eagles will entertain the four-time AFCON winners on Tuesday in Abuja.

And Badu, who was part of Ghana’s squad to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, posited that the presence of players like Thomas Partey and Joseph Paintsil makes them very strong in the midfield department.
In a chat with Ghanaian journalist, Yaw, at the Kumasi Airport and which was published on the latter’s Twitter handle:”It’s a big game. Our strength is in midfield. Partey is great, Kudus too and then Joseph Paintsil is fast. If Kofi Kyereh has a good day as well, we will win.“
Partey has been in brilliant form of late for Arsenal which has seen him pick up individual awards.
Also, Kyereh has been scoring goals for fun for promotion chasing St. Pauli.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have touched down in Kumasi for the crucial fixture and are expected to train inside the Baba Yara Stadium later on Thursday.
A win for the Eagles over two legs will see them secure a seventh World Cup appearance, with Ghana eyeing a fourth outing.

Wao wao wao! It can’t be any better time than this, great to see the Eguavoen boys training this evening. Holla from Kumasi.
Coachie,
Remember to assess our areas of strength and dominance as the game kicks off; if we are vertically advantageous upfront and airstrikes proves more clinical, pls don’t hesitate to revert your inverted wingers! And raid in from middle and flanks… The SE air lieutenants are ever inspired. Shalom!!!
I hope I’m understand sir, pls someone should remind coach Egu. Thanks.
Also, Kyereh has been scoring goals for fun for promotion chasing St. Paulli
