Black Stars of Ghana would be playing the Selecao of Brazil, as part of preparations for upcoming World Cup in Qatar later this year. The two sides would be heading into the game with all seriousness even though there would be little to fight for.
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo would be planning on how to halt the blistering attack of Brazil. To be able to tame Neymar, Vinicius Junior and other potential scorers, the Black Stars head coach could only line up defenders that have the capability of going head to head with Brazil attackers.
Should Otto Addo be relying on Alexander Djiku and Daniel Amartey partnership or Alexander Djiku and Salisu Mohammed partnership?
In recent games, Alexander Djiku and Daniel Amartey have had the opportunity of playing as central defenders for Black Stars of Ghana. In the crucial World Cup qualifier against Super Green Eagles of Nigeria, the duo had the green light of manning the defense for Ghana. Their partnership was later given positive review as they executed the task given them in both legs.
Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, who was tipped to score in both legs, was policed and put into proper context by Daniel Amartey and Alexander Djiku.
Recent decision to play for Ghana by Salisu Mohammed and other players, has been noted as one that would infuse quality into the Black Stars of Ghana. They would be competing with other players for regular spot in the team which could result in major or slight shake up in the squad.
Ahead of the friendly encounter with Brazil, coach Otto Addo would be appraised on how he arranges his defense, that is, either to maintain previous partnership or to rig changes into the team. The ultimate aim is how the defenders are able to handle the imminent pressure that would be injected into the game by the Brazilian attackers.
