Black Stars coach Otto Addo is still intentional about his team’s performance as he demands a quality performance from his team against Niger in the final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Monday, Afrosport reports.
The campaign has ended in disappointment for Ghana as they failed to qualify for the tournament proper in Morocco. However, Otto believes his team will show their worth and perform at their best once again as they look to improve their current form.
“We want to beat them to at least, for our honour, get the third place. And this is what we’re working for. I know it’s very, very difficult, but surely, again, we need the support. And if anyone of us wants to make Ghana better, the players need support. That’s all I can say,” Addo said.
The former Ghana international expressed his disappointment as he resonates with the fans who are sad but assures them that they are going all in for the World Cup qualifiers which is the big goal.
“I understand that people are disappointed, maybe angry. I was also disappointed, but surely we have to move on now. We have to move on, and we have to do our best to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers now.” Addo concluded.
Meanwhile, Niger’s 4-0 thrashing of Sudan will serve as a big confidence boost as their chances of qualifying is currently hanging on a thread as they are currently on four points and will need a favour from Angola in order to seal their berth in Morocco.
