Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu has called for unity within the team following their recent game at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
In the second Group B game against Egypt, the Black Stars twice lost their lead, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Despite Mohammed Kudus netting a brace for Ghana, individual mistakes allowed Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed to capitalize and equalize for Egypt.
Salisu has urged his teammates not to point fingers at one another, emphasizing the importance of unity and solidarity within the team despite the challenges faced in the match.
“We win as a team, we lose as a team, there is no individual mistake. When we make mistakes, we do it as a team. When you mention a player, you kill him for the next game. The most important thing is to focus on the next game,” he said.
The outcome of Thursday night’s match leaves the Black Stars at the bottom of Group B with just one game remaining to play. Ghana is scheduled to face Mozambique on Monday, January 22.
The upcoming match against Mozambique holds significance for the Black Stars as they strive to secure a better position in the group standings and potentially advance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
