At the point when we lost that is the point at which the difficulty began on the grounds that we were undeniably disheartened. That is regular - we were undeniably frustrated, we as a whole needed to win, we went out in. I won't say in a disheartening manner - however we were unfortunate. We missed a punishment and truly got an opportunity to dominate that match so we were undeniably disheartened. I won't say that competition was so disheartening with the manner in which we performed or anything since we were beginning to get rolling and afterward we lost that game which we effectively might have won too - it was a pleasant encounter," he said.

"On the off chance that somebody chooses not to play me and it's for the best thing for the group, I'm fine with that. However, do it as a man and with deference. Tell me and look at me without flinching when you do and I will regard your choice. In any case, I need to genuinely say that I was in better structure 3 weeks before the WC than I was during the WC due to the basic explanation that I wasn't answering the preparation," he added.

"Obviously, what occurs on the pitch is on us the players by the day's end however I think certain individuals realize that they didn't take care of things, the manner in which they ought to have, to get the best out of the group. I'm NOT discussing cash; accept that a ton of the players would have played their hearts out for Ghana without getting compensated. This was more about the standard of what we went through that finished in all the mayhem."
