Ghana coach Otto Addo is pleased with the performance of new players during the Unity Cup, but notes that it has made squad selection for the World Cup qualifiers more challenging.
“The challenge is on. A lot of players showed that they can compete at the highest level, and this makes my work hard. But this is how we want it. You can see that in Ghana there is a lot of talent,” Addo said.
Ghana will face Chad and Mali in crucial World Cup qualifying matches, and Addo hinted that players’ performances at their clubs next season will influence selection.
“We will still observe them. Surely, how they perform with their clubs will also decide in the end for September. I’m happy for them to rest now and come back fresh,” he added.
Addo was satisfied with the team’s performance in the Unity Cup, saying, “I am very satisfied; we brought in new players, again, who are fresh, and I think we really did well in the first half. Everybody could show himself.”
The Black Stars’ next challenge is the World Cup qualifiers, and Addo will have to make tough decisions on who to include in the squad.
