Home Based Super Eagles handler Salisu Yusuf says he’s focused on qualifying the team for a major championship and not thinking of revenge against Ghana.
Salisu was on the bench when Ghana snatched the FIFA World Cup ticket from Nigeria back in March.
As the home based Super Eagles intensify efforts to reach upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN), standing in their way is Ghana’s Black Galaxies in the qualifiers.
Asked if the upcoming clash is a perfect opportunity for a revenge, Yusuf said, “I won’t say we are seeking to get revenge against Ghana because of what happened with the last game on the road to the Qatar World Cup.
“We want to win and qualify for the final stage of the competition in Algeria next year. That is basically what we are pursuing.”
“However, if we beat them to the ticket, which we definitely hope to achieve, then whatever description anyone gives it should be a matter of choice.”
The Eagles B will square up to the Black Galaxies in the first leg in Cape Coast on Sunday, 28th August with the return encounter already scheduled for the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, 3rd September.
The winner earns a berth at the 7th African Nations Championship finals to be staged in Algeria early next year.
