Ghana Coach Otto Addo has praised Salis Samed and Tariq Lamptey for their performances with the team at the World Cup.
Ghana lost 2-3 to Portugal and beat South Korea with the aforementioned scoreline ahead of its crunch game against Uruguay on Friday, December 2 at 15:00 GMT.
Samed and Lamptey featured in both games and are in line to do same against the South American nation this weekend with qualification to the Round of 16 at stake.
Speaking to the Ghana Football Association page, Addo expressed his impressions about the young duo who are enjoying their first tournament with the senior national team.
“I am very very happy to have them both. They really showed why they deserve to be on the team.”
“Tariq with his speed with his pace but also his passion in defending and also Salis Abdul Samed with his ball winnings, one on one abilities defensively very very good calm on the ball… he has a feel for his teammate and he gives everything 90 minutes.”
“This is the type of player we are looking for and we are very happy to have him here” he stated.
Black Stars are currently second in Group H and will need a draw at the very least to qualify for the last 16 of the competition.
