If I had done this, I\u2019d never have become a player or even a coach. If you know where I have come from as a person to arrive at this job, you won\u2019t even ask about my resignation. People shouting and telling me to resign can\u2019t affect me,\u201d Addo noted.<\/p>\n<p>He admitted the team\u2019s challenges but pointed to some positive performances and urged the media and fans to support the players instead of blaming them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started okay but conceded a goal from a set piece. We were aware because the last time we met, they scored from a corner. Surely, we have to defend these set pieces better. It seems everything is going against us. There are some positives, especially from players who hadn\u2019t played before but did well today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe media has the power to control the narratives of games, not only the results. You have the power to lift somebody,\u201d he stated. \u201cI really need you to leave the players alone because they gave us everything,\u201d Addo said.<\/p>\n<p>He further called for peace ahead of the December polls.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p><em style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Stars Coach Otto Addo has firmly stated that he will not step down from his position, despite the team\u2019s recent challenges, including a 2-1 defeat to Niger in their final Group F match.
