Anas Yusuf, a forward for the Super Eagles B, has highlighted the importance of the upcoming return leg match against West African rivals Ghana in the qualification for the 2024 Championship of African Nations (CHAN), according to Completesports. According to reports, after a thorough two-and-a-half-hour training session at the impressive Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Anas spoke exclusively to Completesports on Thursday. After Nigeria’s absence from the 2018 and 2021 editions of the tournament for African players in their domestic leagues, the best Christmas and New Year gift they could give to Nigerians would be a win against Ghana’s Black Galaxies on Saturday. “It’s true that Nigeria did not take part in the last two CHAN tournaments, which is very disappointing.” “Yusuf stated in a special interview following the evening training session, which wrapped up around 7:25 pm, that the greatest Christmas and New Year present we can give to Nigerians is a win against Ghana on Saturday.” “It will also be a win for us and the local NPFL league.” We are diligently focused on successfully finishing the task we started last week in Accra, Ghana, with a victory on Saturday. With Daniel Ogunmodede and Fidelis ‘The Working One’ Ilechukwu leading the session, Thursday’s practice emphasized attacking and goal-scoring exercises for 55 minutes, after 25 minutes dedicated to physical conditioning and ball handling. Yusuf, a player for Nasarawa United in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), is currently the top scorer in the league with 10 goals. He is the only player to have netted two hat-tricks this season.
