The Black Stars’ former coach believes the mouth-watering clash with the Pharoahs will be easier than the other two group encounters..
“I think the easiest game may be against Egypt because their team is very well-balanced,” Addo said on GTV Sports Plus.
“They are the favorites in this game, so it is easier to stand behind when people don’t expect too much from you.”
Oddo also commented on Ghana possibly ending their 41-year wait for the AFCON success.
“It doesn’t make sense to think always about the cup or whatever; you have to do your homework first,” Oddo added, as per Ghana Web.
“There is some work you have to put in to survive the group stage and go to the next stage, and at the end to win it, it is so much work,” he added.
