“I think Ghana should always have a certain pride. As a country, we need to check the commitment of each player which is very crucial because we have very good unity and definitely don’t want to destroy it by bringing players who don’t have commitment”.
Ghana will be hoping to put up a better show at the Mundial next year as they aim for a semifinal qualification.
