Emmanuel Dennis says the Super Eagles players are ready to leave “their blood and sweat on the pitch” ahead of the return leg of their World Cup play-off against Ghana on Tuesday.
The Watford forward, who was a second half substitute in the first leg in Kumasi which ended 0-0, is determined to be at his first World Cup with Nigeria and will do everything to make the dream a reality.
“These games are the biggest games of my life and my career. We must go all out for our country. It’s do or die. Players must be ready to drop our blood and sweat on the pitch to qualify for the World Cup,” Dennis said.
“I’ve never thought in my head that we didn’t qualify. Impossible. If I’m going to die on the pitch, let me die playing for my people,” Dennis added.
“You play this tournament one time every four years, and before the four years, you don’t even know what can happen. You can even die before the next one.
“You might not even be playing football. So many things can happen. So, if you get the opportunity, you need to write history. We have to come out and give everything.”
The striker has charged Nigerian fans to support the team to achieve their aim of another World Cup appearance.
“We don’t need all the criticism as we must all come together as one to support the players, the country and make sure we are the ones going to the World Cup and not our opponent.”
