Ghana assistant coach George Boateng has lauded the performance of the team despite exiting the 2022 World Cup at the group stage, claiming the Black Stars did better than several teams including host nation Qatar and Denmark.
Ghana finished bottom of Group H with three points after losing to Portugal and Uruguay, having beaten South Korea in between.
“If you look at it, we performed well as a team, well enough in every game,” he said, as quoted by Joy Sports.
“If you look at the game against Portugal, the team was compact, very solid, everybody gave his all and we all know if the penalty wasn’t given, things could have been different.
“The game against South Korea was outstanding. The players showed so much character in that game, leading two nil and conceding two goals to then find the courage and still come back to win the game gave us such a good confidence boost.”
“If you looked at it overall we were the lowest-ranked team going to the World Cup but we did better than Denmark, Serbia, Iran, Coast Rica Saudi Arabia, and Qatar the host. So if you look at it we performed well enough.”
“In the last game against Uruguay, it could have been a lot better for us had only luck gone our way.”
