The captain of the Super Eagles, Ahmed Musa has said the crucial 2022 World Cup playoff against Ghana is beyond football.
According to Musa who is the most capped player for the national team in an interview with the Nigeria Football Federation, the game is about politics, jollof rice and entertainment.
He further said that the current crop of Super Eagles are ready to erase the poor record of the Eagles against the Black Stars.
According to the record books, Ghana has defeated Nigeria 25 times, drew 19 and lost 12 times in 56 meetings.
“The game is beyond football. It’s about politics, music, fashion, acting and even jollof rice. Thank God, football has brought us together once again to show who the king is. They may have a better record and that is in the past. We have a new generation of Eagles and we will break the record,” he said.
He, however, acknowledged that the game won’t be easy as they are ready to give their all in the two legs.
“I remember the friendly game we played against Ghana in London and it ended 0-0. It was a tough match inside and outside. We know this game won’t be easy, but we have to give all we have in the first game to see what we have before we come back home,” he said.
