Ghana will face Sudan in a two-legged game in October, hoping to secure the maximum points and enhance their qualification chances.
“Let me roll the time back: A few weeks ago we played against Niger. How did you guys feel when you went back home to your bases? Were you happy? Niger!” he said, as spotted on social media. “Come on guys, you drew 1-1 against Niger, that was the scoreline. Four or five players who play in the Niger team, sorry, cannot play in my team but Ghana played 1-1 with Niger. What did we see, we saw a Black Stars team without passion, energy and desire to play,” he said.
Ghana will face Sudan in a crucial encounter tomorrow with the hope of securing the maximum points and enhance their qualification chances. .
