Former Ghana International Anthony Baffoe, strongly believes the Black Stars would need a good team spirit to enable them pick qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana will begin its qualiflying campaign with a home match against Ethiopia on Friday 3rd September, 2021 at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The Black Stars having failed to play in the last edition in Russia in 2018, gaffer Charles Akonnor will be hoping to seal qualification.
However, Baffoe, a former CAF deputy General Secretary believes the Black Stars playing body have to be mentally tough to be able to face any opponent.
“Having a good scouting team, observing the opponents and wherever you are and creating a good team spirit,” he told TV3.
“This is essential because you can have eleven Messi’s, eleven Cristiano Ronaldo, eleven Abedi Pele’s but that doesn’t mean you will be successful,” the former Black Stars player said.
The former Black Stars player further indicated that it will take a collective effort for the team to qualify to the Mundial.
“You need to create a good team spirit, it’s not only the players but from the officials.
“We have potentials in Ghana but now it’s up to us to show it on the playing field,” he added.
Ghana will also play South Africa on Monday, September 6, in Johannesburg in their second Group G game.
Ghana, a four-time African Champions, have played in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cup in Germany, South Africa and Brazil respectively.
