Ghanaians should be positive ahead of 2022 World Cup – CK Akonnor

Former Black Stars head coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor has urged Ghanaians to remain positive ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The West African country will be making their fourth appearance at the World Cup after missing the previous competition held in Russia four years ago.

Ghana have been drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.

“Otto Addo is our coach now,” CK Akonnor told Joy Sports.

“He’s got Didi Dramani, George Boateng and Chris Hughton. These guys are very knowledgeable, they understand the game; Chris is a huge guy in the Premier League, so definitely, they will help,” he stated.

 

The former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko gaffer added, “[George] Boateng, I was supposed to work with him when I was head coach so I had the chance of meeting him, in that same moment I met Chris and spoke to him.”

“When you talk to them you can clearly see you are on the field already. They know what the game is about. They will help Otto Addo, and he will do well, so we should be positive.”

Ghana will take on Portugal in their first game on November 24 before playing South Korea and Uruguay on November 28 and December 2 respectively.
