"If it rains, the game will be faster, but I don’t think we should focus on that. We simply need to concentrate on the match, because we know it’s a very important game for us."

"I gave myself the chance to earn this spot by working hard, and that's why I'm not surprised to be playing regularly now. In training, I'm improving and making sure to stay as disciplined as possible, and I've been doing that since the restart."

"I think some players, like the younger ones, are a bit tired. But with experience, we have to motivate and support them. It’s also my job to guide them and set a good example."

"Playing my first match with the national team against Brazil was really difficult. But I was really happy to make my debut."

"My little brother is currently in Ghana in the same academy where I was trained. He is also left-footed and plays in the same position as me, in central defense."

"I loved the Brazilian Ronaldo! I watched a lot of videos of him when I was younger. He was a fantastic player who carried his team all the time."

"It’s a very very great club and I am happy to be here, like I side it is a big step for my career."

"I am looking forward to the journey, to win games and to be the best team we can be. I am very happy to be here. I arrived yesterday evening and I enjoy it here."

"Our game depends above all on us and the energy we put into our play, we don't think about the opponent in front of us, we focus first on ourselves as a team. We apply what the coach teaches us in training, but that's football, you can't predict anything in advance."

"We have no doubts, football is about ups and downs depending on the period. We are currently in a bad moment and we have to fight to get back to the top. The season had started very well and we were in good form, we just need to believe in what we are doing on the pitch and listen to the coach’s tactical advice to get back to our level."

"Each game is different, sometimes the chances can be easier than others. We continue to believe in our attackers, it is a difficult time for the team but I think the goals will come. It is time for us to do better to put the attackers in a better position, so that they can regain confidence."

"We have to quickly get back to basics, win matches, adopt the right mentality on the pitch and be sure to give everything in each match."

"I’m just fully attentive to what the coach asks of me and I try to apply his instructions."

"I know that the team expects a lot from me and I’m going to try to give all I can to help the team."
