Ghana defender Denis Odoi draws inspiration from Saudi Arabia ahead of Portugal game

Ghana defender Denis Odoi is confident the Black Stars can upset Portugal in their 2022 World Cup Group H opener on Thursday.

The Clubbe Brugge right back is taking his inspiration from Saudi Arabia, the second-lowest-ranked team in the tournament, who came from behind to stun Lionel Messi’s Argentina 2-1 on Tuesday.

“Of course, seeing what Saudi Arabia have achieved just proves that you have to play all the matches. It’s not because you are a smaller country than your opponent that everything is a foregone conclusion. And then, based on my experience, this season in the Champions League, nobody would have given us a chance to go to the round of 16. And yet, after four matches, we qualified. So my takeaway is that when you play as a team, you can do anything”

The match is scheduled to kick off at 4pm at the Ras Abu Aboud Stadium.
