Daniel Opare has been named in Ghana’s squad to face Congo and England
Ghana youth defender Daniel Opare has described his return to the national team as motivational.
The 20-year-old has been named in Goran Stevanovic’s 24-man squad to face Congo in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations on 27 March and against England in a friendly two days later.
The right-back has been in awesome form for Standard Liege in the Belgian League since joining from Real Madrid last summer.
Opare, first invited to the Black Stars in 2007 in Ghana’s pre-Africa Cup of Nations squad under Claude Le Roy, believes this will help revive his international career.
“I don’t know I was being monitored by the coach but I can’t be overly excited about that. I have to continue working hard and keep my focus. This call-up means I can still achieve more in my career,” Opare told GHANAsoccernet.com
Opare played a bit-part role in Ghana’s winning of the 2009 Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Egypt.
