Otto Addo defends Ati-Zigi after Austria loss
Meanwhile, following the Ghana Black Stars' 5-1 defeat to Austria in a friendly on Friday, March 26, fingers were pointed at Ati-Zigi, but the former head coach Otto Addo quickly defended him, insisting that the blame should be shared across the team. "Zigi, the five goals were not his fault, especially the first two; there was nothing he could do, and in the end he was unlucky,” he said.
"Even for him as a goalkeeper, he didn't deserve to concede five goals, but this is football. We have to learn it's not about the goalkeeper or this player or that player, we all have to learn and find better solutions for these problems we had this evening [against Austria]."
Zigi’s selection had already sparked debate, with Benjamin Asare having featured in two-thirds of Ghana's games during the World Cup qualifiers.
