Because everyone wants to go through the first round and continue the adventure. All I can say is I wish Ghana the best of luck in the draw. Ghana is a country of football, with many talents. We have a team of young people who play well in their clubs. It’s a rebuilding team with a new coach.” Said the 51-goal striker with the Black Stars.
