Black eyes were poured over the daily video replays of super-happy episodes of the match against the English.
Manchester City and Ghana national team striker Antoine Semenyo called on his teammates to put pressure on the referees. The reason was the lack of VAR system checks in the match against England (0:0), which occurred in the second half at Foxborough.
Ghana managed to neutralize Thomas Tuchel's team and collect several points, just shy of the playoffs. However, the camp of the Black Stars is reconciled: they would have won, as if the arbitrator had turned to the video representatives.
Before the final Group I match against Croatia, which took place this week in Philadelphia, Semenyo spoke of the need to be more aggressive and relaxed on the football field. The greatest excitement of the Ghanaians in the episode at the end of the game, when the defender of the English, Ezri Konsa, occurred by beating Prince Kwabena Ada at the penalty box.
In addition, without respect, a suspicious foul was committed on the side of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on the cob. Head referee Said Martinez never reviewed these points.
" Cover up, they haven’t verified anything yet. We were told about the training: how the graves are guilty of going to court and say it, we are guilty of saying.
As a team, we need to be more aggressive with the referees and stay on the field while our coaches bother the fourth referee.. What we need to do is work,” Semenyo said.
The head coach of the Ghana national team, Carlos Queiroz, warned after the match that the VAR was correct.. The 73-year-old Fahive has already criticized the refereeing after a similar incident in the match with Panama and is now leading FIFA in decisive actions.
" VAR was born in 2016 and is the first to emerge from the World Championship in 2018.. 10 years have passed, and there is little justification for the fact that VAR has not become a steal. The time has come for FIFA to take a look at those who follow the lashtunks. We suspect that in the near future the situation will improve,” said Queiroz.
The coach also explained the passivity of his players during the key episode by saying that they were already short on cards and were simply afraid to withdraw the payout for protests.. Despite the scandals, Ghana is in a wonderful tournament position.
A victory over Panama in the first round and a draw with England brought them closer to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
The layout before the last round for Black Stars looks like this:.
Victory in the group: It is possible to win over Croatia and lose a point to England against Panama. If the leaders win, Ghana may become first for the record with the highest difference in goals scored and goals conceded..
Coming out of third place: Once again, the Croatians have a few points, with great confidence to reach the 1/16 finals as one of the shortest teams to sit third.
