I’m thinking about Orlando Pirates success at the moment, not Black Stars – Richard Ofori

Published on: 28 October 2022

Ghana international goalkeeper Richard Ofori says he is not thinking about the Black Stars at the moment.

Ofori has been relegated to the bench at the national team as Jojo Wollacott has become the preferred candidate for the number one goalkeeping spot.

In an interview, Ofori, who is the 2nd vice-captain of the Black Stars said he is currently thinking about how he can help Orlando Pirates to achieve the success planned for the season and not the Black Stars.

“The most important thing for me is Orlando Pirates because you work with your club on a daily basis and the national team is based on what you do for the club,” he said.

“So for me, at the moment I don’t really think about the national team because if you are not fit for your club you will go to the national team and mentally you will be weak.

“The most important thing is I need to perform and do my best at the club so that when they call you, you know you are ready.

“The World Cup is the biggest stage. It’s every young player's dream to play in a World Cup. But for me, at the moment, I’m thinking about the club and how I can help them achieve the success we planned for the season.”
