Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo
Head coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo, has said that his side are focused on producing a positive result in their game against Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
He explained that even though the team’s form lately has not been impressive, he does not think it will matter in their game against Chad on March 21.
Speaking in an interview with TV3, Addo expressed confidence in the Black Stars players to deliver a strong performance to beat Chad.
“For me, it’s not about qualifiers, World Cup, or AFCON qualifiers. Each game is important. Surely, I think it’s difficult sometimes to compare circumstances, especially if you have friendly matches or matches where you have a lot of injuries. I know statistics count, but for me, they don’t count too much.
” We always try to do our best. I’m looking forward to this match. I’m really looking forward to this match to also bring back a little bit of positivity and confidence to the players. I hope Chad is coming at the right time, and we can prepare the boys,” he said.
Otto Addo indicated that the Black Stars have learned lessons from their bad moments and will show improved performance in their upcoming matches.
“This is football. Sometimes you have ups, sometimes you have downs, but the most important thing is to learn from the downs. And even if you have ups, be critical enough to look at the areas for improvement,” he added.
The Black Stars will face Chad on March 21, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium before taking on Madagascar in an away fixture on March 24, 2025.
