Former Ghana international Sam Johnson believes the Black Stars have a bitter chance of qualifying to the next phase of the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers ahead of the other three countries, taking into consideration the four time African champions’s history in global football.
The Black Stars were pitted in group G alongside South Africa Ethiopia and Zimbabwe in the preliminary round of the draw held in Cairo- Egypt on Tuesday afternoon.
Even though pundits of the game have tipped South Africa who are also grouped in same group with Ghana in the 2021 Cup of Nations to poss a major threat, the former Kayserispor and Gaziantepspor play is sure Ghana will atop group G in the qualifiers as they hope to make their fourth appearance at the global showpiece.
”We (Black Stars) have advantage over all the countries in our group considering our past glories in world football, the fear factor is there but that doesn’t mean the other countries are not good. Football has really changed, each country has improved massively so we should work very hard and avoid underrating the other countries in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup,” said the former Ghana star in an interview with Light FM in Kumasi.
”C.K Akonnor has done a great job in coaching in Ghana football. I think he is very capable of succeeding.He needs to take advice from the gurus in coaching concerning where he will be lacking which I think will really help him. This is National affair, so all and sundry is included,”
