Black Stars head coach Otto Addo believes Japan is on a “very high” level compared to Ghana and South Korea after suffering back-to-back defeats in the November Asia friendlies.
Ghana lost 2-0 to the 'Samurai Blue' on Friday in the Kirin Cup before conceding a lone goal against the Taegeuk Warriors on Tuesday.
When asked about his thoughts on the Asians, Otto said: “It's difficult to compare because, first of all, we played a different system,” he said.
“But I think we had more chances today than against Japan. Japan, to be honest, they were very, very good. And if you see also the last game for a nation to beat Brazil, you have to be very, very good. I think they are at the moment on a very, very high level.
“On a good day, you can see that Japan can beat everyone. I think Ghana and also South Korea, are not there yet.”
The matches form part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
