Head coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo has outlined his plans for his current squad as they eye another World Cup qualification.

 


 

 


 

According to Otto Addo, he expect his team to trust their instincts and be creativity.


 

“I think the freedom is there but surely it’s a little bit limited,” Addo stated. “It’s very important that the players have the right position and understand why they have to be in this position or why they have to run into certain spaces. If we all have the same understanding, it makes it easier for everyone


 

“Once you get the ball in your position then, you can be creative. I want them to know which options they have. Once again, this ball in this same situation, they have option ABCDEFGH but also there is option I which they can do whatever they want which includes dribble, which they can shoot or whatever. So for me, it’s very very important they know which options they have and also they know their own capabilities,” he told 3Sports.


 


 

Ghana secured two victories in their 2026 World Cup qualifiers, defeating Mali 2-1 and the Central African Republic 4-3 at the Baba Yara Stadium.


 

Otto Addo and his men hopes of qualifying for their fifth World Cup, to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the USA in 2026.
