Now, with eight or nine players missing, there&#8217;s the opportunity to see if these players are good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Osman also pointed out that while the Black Stars are dependent on results from other teams to qualify for AFCON, this situation could serve as motivation for the squad to raise their performance levels, even though winning both games might not guarantee qualification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally when you\u2019re pushed against the wall, that\u2019s when you see what you\u2019re made of, and right now, the Black Stars are in that position. They don\u2019t have their destiny in their own hands, so it\u2019s a difficult situation because, even if they win both games, it might still not be enough,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Otto Addo will be hoping that the players chosen to face Angola and Niger will deliver their best performances, with more than just victories needed to secure a spot in the 2025 AFCON.<\/p>\n<p>FKA\/OGB<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian-based UK journalist Rahman Osman has urged Black Stars Head Coach Otto Addo to use the final two rounds of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers to give young players a chance in the games against Angola and Niger.
