Thomas-Asante urges Ghanaians to rally behind Black Stars after Cote d’Ivoire defeat
Brandon Thomas-Asante has called on Ghanaians to rally behind the Black Stars as they look to respond to their 2-0 defeat to Cote d’Ivoire in Bouake.
Ghana's football captain, Brandon Thomas-Asante, has urged the nation to stand by the Black Stars following their 2-0 loss to Cote d'Ivoire in Bouake. The Black Stars, who began their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on a low note, conceded two goals to the Ivorian hosts. In an interview with Agogo Sports Daily, Thomas-Asante emphasized that the players are aware of the setback but are resolute in their quest to redeem themselves in their upcoming match.
"We are all Ghanaians, we are fans too, and we want to win these games," he stated. "So, when we travel to Gambia, we will bring pressure and things right, by then, we are at home with our people (fans) supporting us, so we will give our best."
The next Group C qualifier is set for September 29 at the Accra Sports Stadium, where Ghana will face The Gambia. Thomas-Asante believes that the home crowd's backing will play a crucial role in the Black Stars' efforts to bounce back from their initial defeat. Currently sitting at the bottom of Group C, the team is eager to secure their first points of the campaign against The Gambia.
