Emmanuel Adebayor, the former Togo international, emphasises that the Black Stars must approach the upcoming game against Egypt with the right mentality to secure a positive result.
After a disappointing loss to Cape Verde in their opening match on Sunday, Ghana aims to rebound against the seven-time champions.
Adebayor acknowledges the team’s technical proficiency but points out that there is a missing element related to how the players approach the game.
“Technically, they are good, but tactically, they were not in shape; they are not the best. Technicality and tactics are not important anymore when you are playing in the Africa Cup of Nations.
‘What is important in the AFCON is the envy and mentality,” Adebayor told Sienu TV.
“The mentality has to be right, the enthusiasm of the game; you have to go out there and know that you are representing a country.”
