World Cup 2022: Ghana coach Otto Addo wary of Uruguay strikers

Published on: 30 November 2022

Ghana coach Otto Addo has admitted that his side must be wary of the Uruguay strikers when they take to the pitch in their final group game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Black Stars are currently second in Group H and will take on the South American side on Friday. A win or draw will see Ghana through to the last 16 of the competition.

Uruguay are yet to score a goal at this year's tournament after drawing goalless with South Korea in their opener and losing 2-0 to Portugal on Monday.

"It is a different approach, a different team," the 47-year-old said.

"They have very good strikers, lots of experience and they are a very compact, very good team.

"It will be very difficult just like every match. We said before the tournament started every game will be on edge, and we have to be at our best to beat them."

Ghana became the third African country after Senegal and Morocco to secure a win in the second round of matches in the tournament following their 3-2 victory over South Korea.

The four-time African champions started their World Cup campaign on a wrong note after losing 3-2 to Portugal who have progressed to the round of 16 stage.
