Black Stars coach Otto Addo has called on his players to display passion and intensity as they prepare for their crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan.
Addo expressed his disappointment with the team’s recent performance in their 1-1 draw against Niger in Morocco, a result that left Ghana with just one point from two qualifying matches.
With Ghana’s qualification hopes hanging in the balance, Addo stressed the importance of bringing back the energy that was missing in the previous game.
“The biggest thing is that we show passion [against Sudan]. This was lacking in our last game against Niger, and we have to bring this passion back on the field,” Addo told Micky Jnr during CAF’s Coaches Symposium in Ivory Coast.
“Besides all the tactics and quality, we have to show passion, especially defensively, and intensity, to beat this team [Sudan]. If we show it, I think everything is possible and we can take some points from them.”
The Black Stars will be looking to secure a much-needed victory against Sudan to revive their chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
