He expressed respect for the Congolese side but emphasized Ghana’s readiness to adapt and seek victory. Konadu highlighted Ghana’s preparedness for all scenarios, including penalties, and stressed the importance of imposing their style of play.
Despite the absence of suspended striker Yahaya Mohammed, Konadu remained confident in Ghana’s ability to secure victory. He emphasized the team’s preparation and determination to produce quality football and overcome an ambitious Congolese side.
