Ghanaian right-back Tariq Lamptey remains optimistic about the Black Stars’ chances of qualifying for the World Cup, despite a rocky start to the qualifiers.
After back-to-back victories over Mali and the Central African Republic, Ghana has moved joint top of Group I with Comoros.
Lamptey, who made his return to the national team after a long absence, believes that the team is focused and determined to achieve their goal. In an interview with 3 Sports, he emphasized the importance of taking each game as it comes and working hard to get the desired results.
“I think we definitely believe in ourselves [to qualify for the World Cup]; we have the talent as we know. We have to focus on what the coach has to say to us. Take it game by game, work as hard as possible and hopefully the results will show. We worked hard in the week, the build-up to the last two games and we got the results we deserved so hopefully we can keep pushing and qualify,” Lamptey said.
The Brighton and Hove Albion wing-back made his first appearance for Ghana in Monday’s match against the Central African Republic, coming on in the second half.
With the Black Stars’ confidence boosted by their recent victories, Lamptey is hopeful that they can continue to push forward and achieve their goal of qualifying for the World Cup.
