Falode also praised the mood and mentality of the players ahead of today’s game in Kumasi.
“We really must thank the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick and the Honourable Minister of Sports for giving the Super Eagles and indeed all the national teams football this kind of an arrangement that is unprecedented.
“We have had top-notch preparations for this all-important World Cup qualifiers, like the ones before it. There is nothing like when we have players in the right mentality and in the right mood for wanting to deliver to the nation because the nation has given so much to them.
“They have travelled in star and accommodated in a five-star hotel and you must remember that once this place was named as a venue on Wednesday, on Thursday, Amaju Pinnick made sure he got some of us on a flight to come and pay a visit and value the facility. As a result of that visit, we are able to change the hotel from what was proposed before to a five-star hotel that we are in now. Of course, you can see the beautiful stadium, natural grass, good ambience and today we are going to have a packed stadium.
“If you go outside the stadium see the numbers of Nigerians, some of them tying the national flags on their waist. Some of them waving it. It means that Nigerians will be here in Kumasi in their numbers today. The boys are willing to die on the pitch and deliver.” (Completesports)
