I’m proud of Black Stars technical team – Laryea Kingston after World Cup qualification

Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston says he is proud of the Black Stars technical team after the World Cup qualification.

The Black Stars held the Super Eagles to a 1-1 draw which secured them a spot at the Mundial in Qatar this year’s after qualifying with 1-1 aggregate.

Arsenal star Thomas Partey opened the scoring of the decisive game after 10 minutes at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong converted a penalty to draw the Super Eagles level after a VAR decision in the 22nd minute.

In an interview with Kwaku Sarpong Sarkodie of Koforidua-based Bryt FM, the former Hearts of Oak star showered praises on the technical team with the players no exception for the marvelous work they did against Nigeria.

“Ghanaians lost confident in the team after poor performance at the AFCON 2021 but for the first time in many years, I saw a Black Stars team that were determined to do something. I’m so proud of the boys and the technical team because they fought really well”

“We were very good in our transition and that helped us to score in the early stages of the game. I realized it was going to be our day after Partey’s early goal, we defended well before the break”

“I’m proud of our technical team because after 60 minutes when things were not going as expected they introduced some players which worked for us. The technical team had their substitutions right, I’m so happy, Ghanaians around the globe are happy” he said.
