Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare says he is ready to rise to any challenge with the Black Stars.
Since making his senior national team debut in March last year, Asare has established himself as Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper and is expected to guard the posts in the upcoming friendlies against Austria and Germany later this month.
In an interview with 3Sports, Asare called on fans to rally behind the team and expressed confidence in his ability to handle tough opponents.
“It’s my job, so I am ready for any match we want to play,” the experienced shot-stopper said.
“Once I have been called upon, all that’s left for me to do is to do my part and support the country. We have qualified, and we want to make our supporters happy. We are a big country and will compete against other big countries. God’s time is the best, so when it’s my time, I will do my job. We just need the support of Ghanaians to achieve positive results,” he added.
Asare is the only home-based player in Otto Addo’s 26-man squad for the March international friendlies.
The Black Stars will face Austria at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna on March 27 before traveling to Stuttgart to take on four-time world champions Germany on March 30.
