Technical Advisor of the Black Stars, Chris Hughton says he is confident of Black Stars' chances ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana have not been convinced in their preparations ahead of the global showpiece and head to the tournament as the lowest-ranked team.
The Black Stars who have been paired with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay are seeking to improve their performance having exited from the group phase during the 2014 Mundial in Brazil.
However, the former Newcastle and Brighton boss says Ghana are in a tough group but is convinced the Black Stars will make an impact.
“It is difficult in a way. I’m confident in the squad and the coaching staff, but part of my role should be to be realistic. Not to dampen expectations, but to speak honestly,” he told the Daily Mail.
“We are where we are, the lowest-seeded team in a group of four – and it’s a tough group.
"In my conversations with people, I encourage them not to get too carried away, but this is the World Cup.
"They [the federation] will be expecting us to do well. So will the country. It’s a cup competition and we have to be confident," he added.
Ghana will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.
Four days later, the Black Stars return to action with a clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.
Ghana will wrap up their group stage adventure with their much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.
