He said he is very confident in the team but is being very realistic as he gives an honest verdict on the team.

“It is difficult in a way, Im confident in the squad and the coaching staff, but part of my role should be to be realistic. Not to dampen expectations but to speak honestly”.

Talking about the technical team, Hughton explained that, he is very confident in the work put in by head coach, Otto Addo and the entire technical staff.

“One thing Im confident of is the work Otto and the technical staff have put in, this team will be very well prepared and the players will give everything.”

The last time Ghana qualified from the group stages of the world cup was back in 2010 and it is the hope of all Ghanaians that, the team can replicate the fantastic form of 2010.
