Black Stars centre-back Mohammed Salisu is already looking forward to Ghana’s game against Uruguay at the World Cup in Qatar. The 23-year-old, who recently made his Black Stars debut, made the final squad for the tournament which begins in three days’ time.
Ghana will face Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in Group H, and Salisu believes it’s time for the Black Stars to avenge the 2010 defeat against the South Americans.
Ghanaians are looking forward to that game because we are going for revenge,” he told Southampton’s media as quoted by myjoyonline. Salisu admitted he was looking forward to the game and being part of Ghana’s quest for vengeance. He also committed to fighting with his country to achieve that goal.
“When we played against Uruguay at the [2010] World Cup, Ghana was the best team African team at that World Cup and that memory inspires me.”
Salisu made his debut for Ghana on 23 September 2022, as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 friendly defeat against Brazil. On 17 November 2022, Salisu scored his first goal in a friendly against Switzerland, which Ghana won 2–0.
