We fear no foe: GFA President says ahead of Ghana v Brazil clash
Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku has made strong claims that the Black Stars “fear no foe” ahead of the international friendly against Brazil on Friday.
The five-time world champions are favourites to win the friendly encounter in Le Havre, France as the two teams continue preparations for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar which commences in the latter part of November 2022.
Okraku is optimistic the Black Stars, who have been strengthened by the inclusion of newbies Inaki Williams, Tariq Lamptey, and Mohammed Salisu will be full of positive energy.
“We are the Brazilians of Africa and we are playing against the Brazilians of South America. So not at all. We fear no foe. We will be up to the battle tomorrow,” Okraku told 3Sports.
Brazil’s attack will be led by Neymar with support from Vinicius Jr., Richarlison, and Raphinha, while Casemiro, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, and Allison are also expected to start according to various predictions on the internet.
According to Okraku, although the outcome of the friendly will be irrelevant, he expects the Black Stars to put in their best and even win the tie.
”There is a reason why we are engaged in these two games and it’s important that we meet the expectations of the technical teams as far as these two games are concerned.
“I’m not thinking too much about the result. It will be nice if the boys put up a good team performance and cap it with a victory,” Kurt Okraku added.
After Brazil, Ghana will travel to Spain to play Nicaragua on September 27.
