Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, a midfielder for the Black Stars, believes an African nation can win the FIFA World Cup and has identified Ghana to do it.
Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Ghana’s promising midfielder, scored his first Bundesliga goal since joining the club during the transfer window. He scored in the 37th minute against Mainz 05 at Europa-Park Stadion.
After eight games, Kofi-Kyere’s club Freiburg has 17 points and is in second place, two points ahead of Bayern München.
Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has expressed satisfaction with his latest development at SC Freiburg, the 26-year-old told Kicker after their win in the Bundesliga last weekend, “I am very satisfied with my development. That was what I set out to do: to get more playing time. I am glad and grateful that I am given the chance. It’s definitely fantastic. I wake up every morning and am happy that I am where I am. “
The Black Stars will compete in the Mundial, which will be hosted in Qatar in November, after missing out on the last edition in 2018.
Even though Ghana came closest to winning the World Cup in 2010 in South Africa, when Milovan Rajevac’s side reached the quarterfinal stage, while the 2006 and 2014 editions saw them exit in the round of 16th and group stage, respectively, Kofi Kyereh is adamant that Ghana will win the trophy one day.
When asked by GQ South Africa, a well-known magazine, about the likelihood of an African team winning the World Cup, Kofi-Kyereh responded, “Yes! Ghana will receive the World Cup trophy one day.”
The midfielder emphasised his optimism for the upcoming Mundial in Qatar, saying, I anticipate a fun tournament. And I expect us to represent our country to the best of our abilities, demonstrating to the world that we can compete with anyone.”
Kofi Kyereh, who had a solid game in Ghana’s recent friendly games against Brazil and Nicaragua, will participate in the World Cup for the first time in his career.
