Ex-Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan urges Ghanaians to lower expectations ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup

Former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan has urged Ghanaians to lower their expectations ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Ghana sealed qualification to the global showpiece at the expense of Nigeria who were the clear favourites to book a place at the World Cup.

The Black Stars have been placed in Group H together with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea for the World Cup which is scheduled for November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.

“For me, my advice is to lower our expectations for now and then build the new team,” Gyan told Joy FM.

“We know we are Ghana, and we have done it before, but maybe the players who are not involved are not ready enough, so we should give them time to make sure they get there.

“It is very difficult when you put pressure, so the fans have to be calm.”

The Black Stars will take on Portugal in the first match of the group stage before going on to play against Uruguay and South Korea in the second and third matches respectively.
