“Let’s go 100%. I want Ghanaians to see you heckling and fighting. We have great players, the talent and everything is there but that commitment, a bit, just small and we would get there,” he said.

“Sometimes, you can come and your club will be telling to be careful but the world cup is the ultimate.”

Asamoah Gyan, Ghana’s all-time leading scorer, played an instrumental role in motivating the team ahead of the Chad match.

The 39-year-old, who holds the record for the most World Cup goals by an African player with six, joined the Black Stars on their trip to Morocco for Monday’s pivotal clash against Madagascar at the Al Hoceima Stadium.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 GMT.
