By Rasheed Adewuyi
Kurt Okraku, Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, has charged the Black Stars to be focused and be ready to write a remarkable history at the 2022 world cup in Qatar.
Okraku, who made this statement while addressing the team in their hotel in Qatar, said they should approach the opening game against Portugal with all seriousness.
” The last time we played against Portugal, three goals were scored, Ghana scored two of the goals, but Portugal won the match. That is to say, if we up our game, we can beat them. They are not invisible at all,” he said.
He told the players and their coaches to have at the back of their minds that they’re in Qatar to compete at the highest level of football; hence, they need to keep the spirit, unity, and discipline that gave them the world cup ticket.
” Over the years, all of us have put in efforts and energy to be at the stage, and as a family, we must not relent in our efforts to surpass Ghana’s 2010 record in South Africa,” he adds.
The Black Stars defeated Switzerland 2-0 in their last warm-up game in Abu Dhabi. UAE last Thursday.
The team arrived in Qatar yesterday before their opening game against Portugal on November 24.
