Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has expressed his view on Mohammed Salisu’s decision to feature for Ghana in his career.
After close to a five-year chase, Salisu eventually availed himself to play for the Black Stars.
He debuted in the 3-0 defeat to Brazil in an international friendly, emerging from the bench and subsequently starting against Nicaragua where Ghana won by a lone goal.
Ralph Hasenhuttl believe that the decision to represent his decision is a step at the right direction.
“He was not keen to play there for a long time but now he wants to play there and I think it is always something special to play for your country,” Ralph Hasenhuttl said.
“And this is what should normally lift your self-confidence absolutely. I’ve seen it very often in players that are going to the internationals and coming back like they’ve grown with confidence and this is normally always a positive thing,” he added
Salisu is expected to keep his place in the 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup.
Ghana will lock horns with Switzerland in the last friendly before flying to Qatar a day before the Mundial kicks off.
