That’s my least worry..Our players will be smart enough to make smart technical fouls.
My worry is Ghanaians antics, circling the ref trying to influence his decisions,Faking pain,Diving and talking dirty to our players on the pitch, They’ll try to get into your head and make you commit errors
Amartey and Co are masters of the dark art and our players must be 100% prepared psychologically.
Usually,when things don’t go the Ghanaians way, they result to their antics game
So our players should be prepared for that.
I am also worried about the hostile atmosphere that their fans will create as well.
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.
Your commentry is so real for Super Eagles but you forgot important thing Mr.Dosu it is a defensive side whitch SE players always make errors on it; so we recommend tecnical crew to make tight and strong (DM) with tow players like puting Bonke and Semyi Ajayi not puting Etebo or Oneyka because last tow players make many mistakes and errors on this side ,also they havn’t strong combative soul against the rival, but I think Bonke and Ajayi have this soul.Technical must play through balls with using Aribo as a suitable player who can do this job properly; on wings you can use Simon and Chukuwueze, then give them instructions to play crossing balls for striker also must return to defend if you lost the ball.Backs must be given instructions to assist wings on attackting playing.
