Ghana coach, Otto Addo has lauded his players’ mental fortitude after their first two games into the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars lost 2-3 to Portugal in their opener but recorded their first win against South Korea in a hard way.
While Ghana’s back line has been quite porous in Qatar, Otto Addo has pointed to the team’s strong mentality to battle through adversity; the Black Stars is the youngest team competing in this year’s World Cup.
“Good to see how mentally strong we are to fight back, to score the third goal (against South Korea) because it was needed and the way we defended was extraordinary although in all we allowed way too many crosses,” he told the Ghana FA website
The win over South Korea boosted Ghana’s chances of progressing to the Round of 16 stage heading into its final Group H game against Uruguay on Friday, December 2 at 15:00 GMT.
Ghana is aiming to progress beyond the group stage for the third time in four World Cup campaigns.
