Former Ghana Captain, Asamoah Gyan, has urged Ghanaians to temper their expectations for the Black Stars, despite their recent promising wins in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
After going winless throughout 2024, the Black Stars secured consecutive victories against Mali and The Central African Republic in the June 2024 qualifiers for the Canada, Mexico, and USA tournament.
This places Ghana second in Group I of the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup with nine points, trailing Comoros only on goal difference.
Highlighting their resilience, the Black Stars rallied from a goal down to triumph 2-1 against Mali in Bamako and overcame a 2-1 halftime deficit to clinch a thrilling 4-3 victory against The Central African Republic in Kumasi.
However, Asamoah Gyan believes that Otto Addo needs five years to build a team capable of winning trophies.
“Ghanaians should limit their expectations of the Black Stars,” the Ghana all-time top scorer told Kumasi-based Pure FM, as quoted by footballghana.com.
“The players are young, we should allow the coach to build the team, let's say five years to develop the team. After that, then we can expect them to win trophies.”
