If someone asks, &#8216;Why didn&#8217;t we play like this?&#8217; or, &#8216;Why did we do that?&#8217; that&#8217;s fine. But if it gets personal, I refer more to people who understand the game and talk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Addo, he also values constructive feedback from Ghanaians who understand football. &#8220;A lot of Ghanaians I talk to understand the game and say, &#8216;Oh, Otto, maybe we have to do this on set pieces.&#8217; I take my advice from a lot of experience,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that emotional reactions, such as calls for his resignation, do not affect him. &#8220;It&#8217;s not like it can affect me because, after every game, I go through every game. I see what we could have done better. There&#8217;s no game where we couldn&#8217;t have done better, on or off the pitch. There&#8217;s always something to improve, and for this, I need expertise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, Addo expressed optimism about Ghana&#8217;s future. &#8220;There are also some positives to see. I think there will be something in the future. It&#8217;s never always going to be down. There will be better days. I&#8217;m very sure,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The coach reaffirmed his commitment to giving his all to the team. &#8220;Until I&#8217;m here, I will give everything. This is how I grew up, this is how I made it as a professional, and this is what I can do,&#8221; Addo concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Addo&#8217;s future will be decided when the Ghana FA Executive Council meets on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo Ghana coach Otto Addo has clarified his comments about taking advice from experienced football figures, insisting his remarks were taken out of context.
