John Mensah, a former captain of the Black Stars, advised them to put teamwork first in order to succeed at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Mensah told GhanaWeb that if the team stays together, they can achieve the nation’s World Cup goal during the Dinner with the Legends event hosted by the Ghana Football Association.
In response to criticism of Ghana’s alleged lackluster performance during the international break in September, he noted that friendlies are used to evaluate the team, therefore Otto Addo’s attention is less on results.
He also advised that the team treat their opening game with optimum importance because it will set the tone for their tournament.
During the international break, Ghana lost 3-0 to Brazil before beating bottom-ranked Nicaragua 1-0.
At the World Cup, the Black Stars have a tall order as they have pitted against Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay in Group H of the World Cup.
They will begin their World Cup campaign against Portugal on November 24, followed by South Korea on November 28, and conclude against Uruguay on December 2 at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakra.
