Chris Hughton, head coach of the Black Stars, has emphasised that enduring challenging moments, like the 4-0 loss to the USA, will ultimately lead to improvement.
During Wednesday's international friendly at the Geodis Park in Nashville, the team faced a significant setback, with all four goals conceded in under 40 minutes due to lapses in defending and individual errors, marking the second defeat of the October international break.
Following the match, Hughton drew upon his extensive experience in the game and expressed confidence in the team's capacity to rebound and achieve positive results, even in the aftermath of such disheartening defeats.
“It is my responsibility to build this team. I have to work around some of the issues we’ve always had regards some players missing from the squad, trying to get consistency in the team and we will continue to strive to get the right formulas,” he told the press.
“I’ve also been involved in the game long enough to know that sometimes you go through what we regard as bad periods to come out better.”
In Wednesday’s game, the USA took the lead in the 10th minute through Giovanni Reyna who pounced on a poor clearance before Christian Pulisic added the second from the spot following a Gideon Mensah penalty.
Florian Balogun was then gifted the third for the USA following another series of poor defending in the 22nd minute.
Ghana went down by four in the 39th minute through a well-worked indirect free kick that was converted by Reyna for his brace.
