"Having come this far, it is important for all of us to keep the team spirit and the common vision that all of us have placed before us. We have been here and we reached the quarterfinals stage and this makes us competitive enough to play at this level"-he pleaded.
"We have the capacity to either equal or perhaps go much feature if possible. This will be possible, if all of us behave in a certain way, if all of us behave well and I mean it.
This is possible when I come to stand in front of you, you pay attention, listen to what I have to say. We are not here to joke, the last time Ghana was at the Mundial we played against Portugal and at the end of the game Ghana scored two, Portugal scored one but Portugal won the game. Three goals were scored in the game.”-he added.
"I cite this example for us to think deeply about the small, small details that makes a team strong, that makes a team a winning side and that includes paying attention to details.
“Staying together and doing exactly what your technical team will tell you. If you behave in the way we behaved in the friendly against Brazil in the opening minutes, we cannot be winners, all of you know how we conceded the goals”, he concluded.
