On expectations ahead of Germany clash
Of course, it wasn’t our best game. But tomorrow we want to perform better than the last game. We made some mistakes in the game against Austria, but we have analysed the mistakes and want to do better. And we keep going. And like the coach said, there was even worse situations here before the last World Cup. And yeah, it’s just a friendly game. So, we made mistakes the other time and we want to do better tomorrow and hopefully we can do it.
On playing against Germany
Of course, it’s a special moment for me. My mother is from Germany, my father from Ghana but in the end, like the coach said I’m playing for Ghana. I’m proud to play for Ghana and I will give my best I’m of course a little bit nervous maybe it’s the first time that I am going to play against Germany, but I will do my best and I hope I get some minutes.
On looking forward to representing Ghana at the World Cup
I do my best in the team. I try to show the coach that I’m working hard to play in the World Cup but in the end the coach decides so I will continue to do my best here and at the club level. Tomorrow also presents another opportunity and then we will see of course what happens. I want to play there (World Cup) and I think everyone in the squad wants to play there and yeah, we will see and hopefully everything is getting better.
