Alidu Seidu, Salisu sent off in Uganda friendly: On-pitch discipline must be better- Otto Addo

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo isn’t happy with his charges level of discipline after completing international friendly games against Nigeria and Uganda.

Ghana drew 2-2 with Uganda and lost 2-1 to Nigeria with both games played in Morocco but the Black Stars had players sent off in both games.

Against Nigeria, defender Jerome Opoku was sent off in the 56th minute for an apparent dissent towards the referee. Opoku said his dismissal was due to a miscommunication with the referee.(Click highlighted text to read full story)

In the draw against Uganda, Ghana defenders Mohammed Salisu and Alidu Seidu were dismissed from the game in the 89th and 93rd minute respectively.

Addressing the issue in a post game interview, Otto Addo was far from pleased over the dismissals stating,

“I think the discipline off the pitch was very good in this camp but the discipline off the pitch, to play good, play hard but intelligent and not getting silly yellow and red cards.”

“Discipline has to be much better and this is something that we have to address and we addressed it even after the match which we have to work on.”
