Former Ghana international, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has urged the Black Galaxies to go all out against Nigeria in the second-leg encounter against Nigeria in the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers.
After beating Nigeria on penalties to qualify for the last edition of the CHAN tournament ;last year, the Black Galaxies will hope to repeat the feat on December 22 when they play the second leg at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
Meanwhile, Agyemang-Badu, who played for the home-based team in the 2009 African Nations Championship in Ivory Coast , is calling for the team to be more potent upfront and go all in in the game.
“We should be very careful not to go and defend,” he told Joy Sports.
“This is only one game and when you lose, you are not going anywhere. We can’t do that [lose] because mind you, we didn’t qualify for the [2025] Africa Cup of Nations.
“If the CHAN too, we don’t qualify then there will be a little bit of disaster so we will support them, pray them, they [Galaxies] should go all out and win the game for us in the return leg,” he added.
The winner this tie will advance to the CHAN 2025 tournament to be held in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania next year.
