Black Stars: Trust Otto Addo and his coaches – Lippert tells Ghanaians

Technical Director at the Ghana Football Association, Bernard Lippert, has called on Ghanaians to have confidence in the Black Stars technical team headed by Otto Addo, ahead of Qatar 2022.

The senior national team has come under scrutiny following September’s international friendly games against Brazil and Nicaragua.

The Stars were brushed aside by a dominant Brazil by 3-0 at the Stade Oceane in Le Havre, France.

Ghana recovered to pip Nicaragua 1-0 in Lorca, Spain four days later. Despite the mixed results, Lippert has asked to back the Black Stars technical team.

“Be patient because we integrated eight new players. They had to find each other. It was a friendly game without preparations. So, be patient. Trust the coaches”, Lippert remarked.

The Black Stars have been paired with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay at the World Cup in Group H in what potentially could be a very difficult start to the tournament but Bernard Lippert is optimistic Ghana will progress from the group.

“I think we have a good chance to overcome the group stage. And then everything is possible. We really can go until the quarter-final. It’s realistic for me.”

Ghana will be making her fourth appearance at the global tournament after participating in 2006, 2010, and 2014 editions.
