“There was pressure in the game, not just to qualify for the World Cup but for the bragging rights of the country, but I just went into it treating it like another game of football, I didn’t put too much pressure on myself and I’m obviously buzzing and delighted”, Wollacott said as per GSN.

“I’m not that superstitious but I just made sure I had a solid week of training, I eat well and slept right and that gives you confidence.

“Playing for Ghana, I didn’t realize before I went just how much expectation there is from the country and football is massive in Ghana, a lot of people follow it, so to deliver and make Ghana proud is the best feeling.

“It was probably one of the best feelings of my career.”
