Ghanaians must be patient with the Black Stars – John Mensah
Former Ghana captain John Mensah has urged Ghanaians to exercise patience with the Black Stars as the team goes through a transition.
The four-time African champions recorded two consecutive victories against Mali and Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers last month, reviving their qualification chances.
The Black Stars achieved an important away win over Mali in Bamako before returning to Kumasi to beat Central African Republic at the Baba Yara Stadium, marking two wins in a row.
These victories ended the Black Stars' winless streak this year after going seven games without a win. The four-time African champions are chasing their fifth qualification to the world's biggest soccer event.
Speaking to the media, the former Sunderland and Lyon tough defender entreated Ghanaians to be patient with the team as Otto Addo aim to turn things around.
“Otto Addo is doing well. It is not easy as Ghanaians see it. He is managing to unite the team. I think the team did well in their last two World Cup qualification games. Let’s trust the coach and support him and I think he will do well”
“Previously, it was difficult for us but you can see they are performing now. They are picking up and I will plead with Ghanaians to exercise patience for the team and I think they will do much better” he said.
Currently, Ghana sits second in the Group I standings for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, accumulating 9 points after four games. The qualifying series will resume in March 2025.
