‘We didn’t perform as expected’ – Gideon Mensah reflects on Gambia defeat

“To play for the national team, we need to put it in our minds that playing for Ghana comes with a lot of responsibility,” Mensah said.

Black Stars captain Gideon Mensah has promised a response from the team after Ghana’s disappointing 4-2 defeat to The Gambia, saying the players have an opportunity to make Ghanaians happy again in their remaining qualifiers.

Mensah attributed some of the team’s struggles to the number of newcomers in the squad, explaining that playing for Ghana requires a different mentality and level of urgency compared to club football.
