Ghana team manager Ameenu Shardow has stood firm that the Black Stars performed well despite their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, Afrosport reports.
The four-time AFCON winners failed to win any of their six qualifiers, drawing three games and losing another three including Monday’s 2-1 loss to Niger on Monday.
It saw the Black Stars finish bottom of Group F and failed to qualify for AFCON for the first time in 20 years but Shardow insists Otto Addo’s side did way better than results showed.
Speaking on Ghanaian radio station Happy FM, Shardow explained: “It’s only the results which are yet to come, but if you look at the performances of the team in most of the games, we performed better than the results that we got.
“If we are going to be honest and factual about happenings, our first game against Angola, did anything suggest to you that we deserved to lose the game?
“When you pipe down the emotions and go deeper into the details and analyse just the games, you’ll see that we performed well.
“If the performance of the team in all the games that we played is anything to go by, Ghana was supposed to top the group if we are only looking at the performance unless you want to be blind to the fact.”
Ghana’s AFCON 2025 qualification campaign has put pressure on head coach Otto Addo to resign but he has vowed to set stay on.
