Ghana head coach, Otto Addo has opened up on why the friendly match against Switzerland on Thursday is important to him before the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
According to the Germany-trained tactician, the friendly will afford him the opportunity to explore tactics, try new formations, and above all settle on his first eleven for the first game against Portugal at the mundial.
“Everybody is ready, everybody is hungry, we are looking forward to the work cup. The [first] 11 is not 100% sure so everybody has the chance to show himself again and to show us as technical staff that they are capable of playing international games,” Coach Otto Addo shared after the Black Stars finished training on Saturday.
The Ghana coach is confident that his Black Stars are ready for the Switzerland friendly later today.
“The guys look sharp, they are ready, it’s a very good challenge for us and this can also make an impact for us on who plays against Portugal,” the coach added.
The friendly between Ghana and Switzerland will kick off at 10 am at the Baniyas Club Stadium.
After the game, the Black Stars will finalise their stay in Abu Dhabi and travel to the team’s base in Qatar to prepare for the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Black Stars are in Group H of the tournament and will play against Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea.
