Ghana coach Otto Addo has disclosed that the new Black Stars players are not guaranteed a starting berth just yet since it might affect the team.
The Black Stars welcomed several players who switched their allegiance after representing other nationalities in junior set-ups.
Tariq Lamptey, Mohammed Salisu, and Inaki Williams were handed call-ups and made their debuts from the bench in Ghana’s 3-0 friendly match loss to Brazil on Saturday.
Speaking on integrating the new players into the squad, Addo said as quoted by France24, “It is always a danger to get new players, especially if the players who are there before achieved something really, really good.”
“There is a group dynamic which I don’t want to break, but I think from what I saw they were welcomed well.
“They did well in training and got along with each other and it’s not like they were strangers. Before some knew each other from playing in the same league and everything is okay.”
“It’s a good situation. We have pressure from the bench because new people are there who are very, very solid in Europe, and we have players on the pitch who have to prove themselves.”
