Ghana coach, Otto Addo, has admitted that everything seems to be going against his team following their inability to secure qualification berth to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The four-time Afcon champions succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Niger on Monday afternoon, during the final Group F game failing to secure a single victory as they finished bottom in the group table which included Sudan, Angola, and Niger.
In his post-match interview, Coach Addo bemoaned the calamity that caused pain to his team despite no-way-too-bad performance from his players.
“The players did well. Adapting fast to the new system, we created chances. We were unlucky with, I think, one free-kick or so with the post. We had some chances. And at the very end, I think we had the chance to at least equalise. But yeah, at the moment, everything is going against us,” he said.
“But I've been solo in this business. This is sometimes a negative structure. Now we have a break and we have to refuel ourselves. Yeah, take the positive things out of it. I think there were some positives, especially with players who hadn't played but did well today. This is what we can take out."
