World Cup 2022: The aim is to beat Portugal – Ghana coach Otto Addo

Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, says the Black Stars are aiming to beat Portugal in their Group H opener on Thursday.

Ghana, who are making their fourth appearance at the Mundial will begin their journey against the European country at the Stadium 974 on Thursday, November 24 with kick-off scheduled at 16:00GMT.

Despite not being regarded as the top two favorites in the group on paper, Addo says the target for the team is to advance into the knockout stages while adding that winning against Portugal is the objective.

“Surely we want to survive the group stage. We want to go game by game so our full focus is on the Portuguese game. If we don’t look too far and we concentrate on the next game, I think we can do something,” he said ahead of Thursday’s fixture.

“From there, nobody knows, it depends on who you get and also how you play.

“It’s very difficult to predict so our main focus is to win against Portugal, which will be very difficult. After that, we’ll look at the next step,” he added.

The Black Stars will also take on South Korea and Uruguay in their final group games.

Ghana will be looking to start their campaign at the Mundial on a high after the disastrous 2021 Africa Cup of Nations that has caused a lot of dissatisfaction for the team.
