Former Black Stars defender Hans Adu Sarpei has shared his assessment of Ghana’s recent performances in the March international friendlies against Austria and Germany.
The Black Stars endured a difficult outing, suffering a heavy 5–1 defeat to Austria, coached by Ralf Rangnick, before narrowly losing 2–1 to Germany just days later. The second defeat came in dramatic fashion, with Ghana conceding a late goal in the closing stages of the game.
Reacting to the results, Sarpei expressed disappointment over the team’s inability to hold on for a draw against Germany, stressing the importance of concentration in crucial moments.
He noted, however, that there were signs of improvement following the heavy loss to Austria, highlighting a more competitive display against the Germans.
Sarpei added that while the performance against Germany was encouraging, the team still has areas that require improvement ahead of future competitions.
Meanwhile, head coach Otto Addo has been relieved of his duties following the two matches, leaving the Black Stars without a coach with just over two months to the start of the upcoming tournament.
