Kwasi Sibo says Ghana are not looking back after holding England to a 0-0 draw, with the midfielder declaring the Black Stars will go all in for the nation against Croatia to finish top of World Cup Group L.
Sibo started in midfield at Gillette Stadium as Ghana executed Carlos Queiroz’s game plan to frustrate England and leave both sides on four points after two matches.
“I’m always grateful, always thankful to God for the opportunity to play and whenever I do play I’ll give everything I can,” Sibo said.
“It’s a big blessing for sure.”
The 26-year-old said the squad followed Queiroz’s instructions to the letter. “He told us to be compact. He told us to fight for each other. And he told us that, at this moment, he knows that we will suffer because we are playing against a great team. But still, we should keep our mentality tough, fight from the first minute to 90 minutes,” Sibo said. “I think we listened to him and we followed his instructions and we did the job for him.”
“Now, the game against Croatia — I don’t think, I just believe that we’re going to take all three points,” he said. “We want to be leaders in the group and we are not looking back.”
“Against England today, we defended a lot. We had one chance that maybe could have given us three points. So going against Croatia, it’s all in all, for the nation.”
