Give players time – Otto Addo calls for patience for Black Stars youngsters
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has called on Ghanaians to be patient with the players as they would need time to harmonise and work together.
Otto Addo coached his youthful side to a 4-3 win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Central African Republic on Monday night.
Jordan Ayew turned up in style at the Baba Yara Stadium scoring three goals in the win while Abdul Fatawu Issahaku also contributed a goal.
Jordan and Thomas Partey are two of just a few experienced players in the current setup up.
The head coach believes the youngsters will need time to adapt playing with each other.
“I hope that Ghanaians give us time. It’s always difficult because after this, the guys will be on a break and then coached with different ideas and then I will come with different ideas too,” Otto Addo said.
“It’s always difficult because I always look at the opponent and see what solutions are best. I can guarantee you that the approach to our next game will also be determined by how our opponents play.”
“The players are very young but they will grow and learn to adapt. They will recognise the right situations and make the right decisions with time,” Otto Addo added.
Ghana now occupies top spot in Group I after four games played, picking up nine points in that period.
