Despite being ranked the lowest team at the tournament, the former Inter and AC Milan stars has expressed 100% believe in the national team.

“Everybody knows it’s a big game, they’ve played many games in their lives, big games in their lives so I don’t think, of course there is a bit pressure but I’m 100% sure they will definitely do well” he said after visiting the teams camp in Doha, Qatar.

The Black Stars having missed out in the last edition hosted in Russia in 2018 will be hoping to improve their performance in Qatar after exiting the group phase during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
