2022 World Cup: We are in high confidence after Switzerland win - Ghana defender Denis Odoi

Ghana defender, Denis Odoi has said the team is feeling confident ahead of their 2022 World Cup opener against Portugal after beating Switzerland.

The Black Stars defeated the European country in a pre-World Cup friendly last week in Abu Dhabi.

Prior to the match against Switzerland, the Black Stars were listless against Brazil and then struggled to beat Nicaragua.

As a result, the mood in the Black Stars camp was not particularly upbeat, but Odoi reveals that things have changed since the 2-0 victory.

"I think the team was satisfied not only with this victory, but also with the way they won this match, with their performance on the pitch," he said.

"So, it wasn't just a win, it was a solid performance as well. But we know that the Portugal team will be of an even higher level and that the context will be different," Odoi added.

The game between Portugal and Ghana will take place at Stadium 974 with kick-off scheduled at 16:00GMT.
