"You all witnessed our last two matches. The late goals we conceded stem from a lack of concentration. The players must motivate one another and be prepared to defend every corner until the final whistle. Each player must take responsibility for their position, communicate effectively, and maintain discipline to prevent late goals," he remarked.
Currently, Ghana sits third in Group F with only one point from two games, making it essential for them to secure victories to boost their chances of qualifying for the 2025 tournament in Morocco.
