We talked too much; we trained exactly in this kind of situation also, and I am really disappointed to see the team concede a goal like this,\u201d coach Otto Addo said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the team\u2019s next outing against Sudan in October, Otto Addo stated that the double-header against the Falcons was going to be a stern task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be difficult again. I knew from the start, it\u2019s just some little margins, little details which can decide. This will be again, for us it will be a crucial match. We have to win, there is no way around it, and we have to win. If we want to have the chance to play better after, we have to win. We are under pressure, this is for sure, and we have to do better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars would have to win their next two encounters against Sudan to boost their chances of qualification to the next AFCON to be held in Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>Source: GNA<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otto Addo \u2013 Black Stars Coach Black Stars Head Coach Otto Addo has admitted to being under pressure following the poor start in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
