Ghana lost the opening games by a 3-0 scoreline to Mali but recovered in three days' time to whip Qatar 5-1.

Speaking in a radio interview, Kurt Okraku said the senior national team players were paid $2000 dollars for the friendly exercises.

Assessing the two games, the former Asante Kotoko and Hearts Of Oak trainer said the team's loss to Mali was due to tactical indiscipline and not being ready.

Speaking on the importance of the friendly, Akonnor maintained that he now has a clearer perspective of the team he wants to build.

Akonnor will be leading the Black Stars in AFCON 2022 qualifier in November against Sudan. Ghana won their first two games against South Africa and Sao Tome in November 2019.
