Why we didn’t beat Nigeria – Black Stars coach, Addo

Otto Addo, the head coach of Ghana’s national team, has explained why his squad was unable to defeat Nigeria in the first leg of their 2022 World Cup playoffs in Kumasi on Friday.

Despite a raucous home crowd at Baba Yara Stadium, the Black Stars were unable to score or win the game.

With 20 minutes remaining, they were also given a scare when the referee gave a penalty, which was later overturned after a VAR check.

Despite having the upper hand in the early stages of the game, Addo conceded his team committed a couple blunders after the game.

“First of all, we did well even though we made some mistakes but we started well.

“There was just a little bit of fatigue and it made Nigeria come into the game more,” he said.

Both countries will play again on Tuesday in Abuja’s Moshood Abiola Stadium to determine who would receive a World Cup ticket.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
