He, however, added that an honest assessment of the team's performances recently makes it clear that the Black Stars team was not in the best shape even before he took over as the coach, and hence, it will take time for the team to play the way he wants.

"This is what I expected; if we are honest, the last game in January we were not good before I came, so its is process,"

At the time of writing this report, the video of Otto Addo's assessment of the team had raked in over 3,000 views and 59 comments.

For the first time in years, I saw the Black Stars actually playing the football we are accustomed in Ghana. Well done Otto Addo. I can see that there's more to come. The players need to play together for a while

We definitely need the Ayews in the team but we must be bold enough to substitute them when things are not going well or they are tired . That’s my biggest issue right now
