Former Germany international, Gerald Asamoah believes Ghana’s biggest weakness is in its defence ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
The four-time African champions will be embarking on their fifth World Cup in June, but the team has been without a win since beating Comoros in the final qualifier in Accra last year.
The Black Stars have conceded ten goals in their last four friendlies, including a 5-1 defeat to Austria last month, leading to the sacking of Otto Add as coach of the national team.
Former Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has been appointment as replacement for the ex-Ghana midfielder.
Ahead of Queiroz’s first assignment as Ghana coach, Asamoah pointed out that the Black Stars have a leaky defence, and that should be a priority for the Portuguese trainer.
“What are we good in? Are we good in defending or offensive game? We are really good in offensive games, so we need to work on our offence, so we need to work on our defensive play,” Asamoah told 3 Sports.
“Keeping the defence is one of the important things you can do as a coach.”
The Black Stars will face World Cup co-hosts Mexico in May before wrapping up preparations with an encounter with Wales.
Ghana have been drawn in Group L with Panama, England and Croatia.
