According to Tasnim news agency, Oto Addo, the head coach of the Ghana national team, became the first Ghanaian head coach in history to win the World Cup thanks to the team’s 3-2 victory against South Korea today (Monday) in the second round of the 2022 World Cup Group G games. . With this victory, Ghana won its first points in the 22nd Cup and climbed to the second place. The representative of Africa now even has the chance to even advance to the next stage by defeating Uruguay in the final game.
After the game, Ghana’s head coach Otto Addo told reporters: “The game had many ups and downs, and this made it emotional.” South Korea played really well and put us under pressure with their pressing.
Addo added: We got into trouble in the second half. We wanted to stop the opponent’s crosses, but maybe we were not cohesive enough to do this. However, the motivation and enthusiasm of the players made them defend with all their heart and the good performance of our goalkeeper also helped. Finally, I must say that we were a little lucky.
One of the important aspects of the game was the dismissal of Paulo Bento, the Portuguese head coach of the South Korean national team, by Anthony Taylor due to his strong and aggressive protest to the English referee at the end of the match, which caused him to be banned from the press conference. That’s why his assistant Sergio Costa told reporters: the result of the game was really unfair. Even a draw was unfair to us for this game, let alone defeat. Victory was our right.
