Watford ace Emmanuel Dennis says today’s game against the Black Stars of Ghana is the biggest game of his career and he is ready to give his all if he gets to play.
Dennis who was heavily criticised for shunning the chance to be a part of the Nigerian team for the Africa Cup of Nations marked his return to the team in the 0-0 draw in the first leg on Friday.
With Samuel Chukwueze out injured, Dennis is among the options available to coach Austine Eguavoen in today’s game which will determine the world cup fate of both countries. Dennis said he is ready to die on the pitch to help Nigeria win.
“This game is the biggest game of my life. The biggest game of my career. I swear qualifying for the World Cup with your country is massive. It’s going to be do or die. We have to go all out blood and sweat. I am going to give all that is in me, I will make sure I give my part. We need to qualify bro. There is no excuse”, he told the BBC.
“The country can’t wait for us to qualify. It’s all they want. We must win. If I am going to die on the pitch. Let me die on the pitch. It’s the World Cup, it happens every four years. It’s a once in a life time opportunity because you don’t know if you will be alive the next four years. Anything can happen.
“ Today we just have to show that Nigerian jollof is better than Ghanaian jollof”, he concluded.
