Ghana’s coach, Otto Addo, expresses optimism for the Black Stars’ future despite recent defensive challenges, following victories over Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR).

In an interview with 3Sports, Addo highlighted the team’s recent performances, praising their resilience while acknowledging areas needing improvement.

“Despite securing wins, there are lessons to be learned. It’s vital for the players to maintain belief in themselves; anything is possible,” Addo emphasized.

“After a disappointing AFCON in Ivory Coast, restoring confidence in the squad was tough. However, their quick adaptation and strong performances are encouraging for Ghanaians. It demonstrates our ability to triumph over any opponent.”

Since returning as Ghana’s coach after the 2023 AFCON, Addo has steered the Black Stars to consecutive victories this month, rekindling hopes for World Cup qualification.

While noting Ghana’s progress under his guidance, Addo stressed the importance of narrowing the gap with top teams and addressing weaknesses.

“There’s tremendous potential, but we must close the gap with the best teams. By improving and refining our weaknesses, the future looks promising,” he remarked.

Addo also emphasized collective defensive efforts, particularly following games where Ghana conceded four goals against Mali and CAR.

“Beyond the results, we need to assess our approach from the outset. How effective was our counter-pressing? Did we manage to prevent opponents from exploiting our defensive line? This awareness is crucial for both players and fans,” Addo added.

Otto Addo, who previously guided Ghana to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, has begun his second stint with a 34-month contract, with an option to extend for an additional 24 months.

0

Former Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor has made his prediction for the 2024 CAF Player of the Year award, tipping Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy ahead of strong contenders Mohammed Kudus from Ghana and Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen.

Despite Kudus’ impressive debut season at West Ham, Adebayor favors Guirassy for the prestigious accolade. Guirassy’s stellar performance with VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga has positioned him as a frontrunner, finishing second in the league’s Golden Boot race behind Harry Kane.

The French-born Guinean striker showcased his scoring prowess with 28 goals and 2 assists in just 28 league appearances during the 2023/24 season.

Adebayor, a former recipient of the CAF Player of the Year award himself, firmly supports Guirassy: “He had an exceptional season with Stuttgart, demonstrating prolific scoring. He is certainly a strong contender, especially given the performances of other players like Salah and Osimhen this year.

The competition is fierce, and if Guirassy wins, it will be thoroughly deserved.”

With Adebayor’s endorsement carrying weight, expectations are high for the announcement of the CAF Player of the Year, underscoring Guirassy’s rising prospects.
