Ghana’s midfielder Bernard Mensah looks forward to his second international appearance for Ghana in upcoming friendlies against Mali and Qatar. The Stars will face the Eagles on Friday in Antalya, before taking on the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar, three days later.
One player eagerly awaiting his chance is Turkish midfielder Bernard Mensah. The 25-year-old won his first international match in 2015 with former coach Avram Grant in an international friendly against the Hawks of Togo in Accra.
Ahead of upcoming friendly matches, the former Atlético de Madrid player was in front of the GFA media in Antalya on Wednesday, when he spoke about life in Turkey, playing with CK Akonnor and more.
On training and teammates
I think since I got here, I think everything is going well and yesterday’s training was too tight like today, but today is much better because all the experienced players are here, so today was really different than yesterday and the feeling was great too. .
Being invited for the first time in five years
I think the invitation means a lot to me. Now we have a new coach, he is CK Akonnor. He saw what I did with my previous clubs, Kasimpasa, Keyserispor and now Besiktas, so I will say that it is a great opportunity for me. He knows what kind of player I am and that’s why he gave me the opportunity to be here.
At CK Akonnor
Apart from Avram Grant, he is the coach who shows you how he wants you to play on the field and this is a huge difference. Because he’s telling you what to do and how he wants you to play, so I think after Avram Grant, working with him is great for me, being here today to see what he’s doing is perfect and great for me.
About Mali and Qatar
We want to win every game; we are Black Stars. We have good players, Jordan Ayew, Andre and Thomas. I think we have a very good squad and we want to win every game. The two games are very important to us, the new players also want to prove something in these two games, so yes, we are ready and we want to win all the games.
In professional career
I think I am on the right track because I can see every year, I am progressing since I came to Turkey so I think I am the right track and now I have to be ready for all games because I want to go back to the tropics again.
