Elisha Owusu responded to Ghana’s early elimination from the 2022 World Cup, which is now taking place in Qatar.
The Black Stars lost 2-0 to Uruguay in their final group match on Friday, December 2 at the Al Janoub Stadium, and were consequently eliminated from the competition in Qatar.
Ghana needed to draw in the final game to have a chance to move from their group, but they lost, making it difficult for them to get that result. After South Korea defeated Portugal 2-1, Ghana and Uruguay were eliminated from the competition.
One of the six players who did not play in any of the three games, Owusu, guaranteed that the team would come back even stronger and then before. He also thanked the fans.
The 25-year-old posted the following on his official Instagram page:
“It is a bitter feeling to see our World Cup run come to an untimely end.
First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge and thank our great fans for their consistently amazing support throughout the tournament.
Although we were not able to qualify, I am proud of my teammates for the hard work they put in on and off the pitch. I am sure with this determination and fight, that we will be back to give the wonderful fans of Ghana the performances they deserve.
On a personal note, I am a very thankful to have experienced the World Cup as this has always been a dream of mine. This would not be possible without God, which is why I am always grateful. I will continue to put in the hours off the pitch to ensure the future is bright.
The Black Stars will be back stronger and hungrier than ever!”
Now, Elisha Owusu will concentrate on KAA Gent’s friendly matchup with Heerenveen on December 14.
