Assistant coach of the Black Stars, George Boateng, says Ghana had a good preparation in the build-up to the 202 FIFA World Cup.
Having faced tests in Brazil and Nicaragua during the September international break, the Black Stars travelled to Abu Dhabi to wrap up their activities.
Ghana faced Switzerland on December 17 in a friendly beating them with a 2-0 score, a fixture Boateng believes gave the team the needed confidence ahead of the start of the tournament.
"When we look back we can say we had good preparation and organisation, we planned well. As coaches, staff and as a team, when we look back there is no way we could say that we missed out on something," he said in a video shared on his Instagram page analysing the team at the Mundial.
"All the players hadn't played in a World Cup game before so the preparation against Switzerland was very good. Also, the victory and the way we played against Switzerland gave the team a morale boost in terms of confidence."
Those preparation, however, could not yield the needed results as Ghana exited the competition after the group stage after picking up just three points from a group that also housed Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
