Ghana winger Adomah gives credit to resilient DR Congo

Ghana winger Albert Adomah
Ghana winger Albert Adomah says DR Congo should be given credit for drawing a point off the Black Stars.
The 25-year-old made his Nations Cup debut in the Sunday’s 2-2 in Port Elizabeth.
Ghana threw away a two-goal lead in the game which was supposed to have been a routine win for the Black Stars.
Second half strikes from Tresor Mputu and Dieumerci Mbokani cancelled out Ghana’s goals scored by Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu and Kwadwo Asamoah.
The disappointing result has now cast doubts in the minds of many who tipped Ghana as one of the favourites to win the competition in South Africa.
But the Bristol City player says credit should be given to the Leopards for their resilience in attaining the result.
“It is (draw with DRC) a bit disappointing but at the same time we didn’t lose so we just have to look forward to the next game and hopefully win our next game,” he said.
“It happens sometimes in football, when you go up sometimes the team always pick back, you have to give credit to DRC because they’ve done well to get us back.
“They have done very well and you have to give credit to our opponents.”
Ghana will now have to beat Mali in the second group game on Thursday to resurrect its title ambitions.
The four-time African champions have not won the Nations Cup in 31-years but hope to end the long wait this term in South Africa.

You have shown good sportsmanship
u are very a clever man
GHANA VS CONGO DR
SOMETIMES, I DONT KNOW WAT AA IS THINKING
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY FOR EVERY PLAYER…AT ALL TIMES
IN THE FIRST HALF, U COULD VISIBLY SEE THAT GYAN NEEDS HELP. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO DO GIVE N GO!
THE MIDFIELD IS NON EXISTENT, AND DEREK IS NOT DISCIPLINED. DEREK DOSENT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. HE IS USELESS!
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEREK ARE VERY SIMPLE…
A. BREAK/STOP ATTACKING ADVANCES OF OPPONENTS INTO THE GH HALF
B. RELEASE THE BALL TO THE WINGERS OR THE $TRIKERS AND REST. I REPEAT, NO BACK PASSES!
THIS ISNT WAT DEREK WAS DOING. HE WAS CAUGHT TRYING TO BE A STAR ON THE FIELD. HE RARELY TRIES TO STOP OPPONENTS ATTACKS INTO THE GH HALF.
ON THE OCASSION THAT HE DOES, DEREK IS SEEN HOLDING UNTO THE BALL LIKE HE THINKS HE IS MARADONNA OR MESSI. IDIOT, JUST WIN THE BALL AND PASS IT
I TOLD U TO LEAVE DEREK ALONE. NOW U SEE?
I DONT SEE ANY URGENCY, AND SERIOUNESS WITH THE TEAM, YET
THEY R NOT URGENT IN FORCING THE ISSUE. THE BEST PLAYERS THUS FAR HAS BEEN BADU, WAKASSO, AKAMINKO, FATAU
ASAMOAH IS LEAKING THE LEFT BACK AT TIMES. OUR 4 N 5 PLAYERS NEED TO BE AWAKE AT ALL TIMES IN THE 18YARD BOX WHEN THE OPPONRNTS ARE ATTACKING
AA IS NOW PAYING THE PRICE FOR NOT CALLING NATURAL LEFT BACKS LIKE DAVID ADDY AND NANA ASARE
WHY DONT U USE KISSI BOATENG, HUH? U KNOW KISSI BOATENG IS NOT UP TO STANDARD SO WHY DID U EVEN CALL HIM FOR THIS TOURNAMNT?
THE TEAM IS NOT DISCIPLINED. LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF CARDS GH RECEIVED?
HW3, AFFUL CANT PLAY THE 3. THE CONGO DR PLAYERS ARE RUNNING PAST HIM LIKE WATER.
START AFFUL ON THE 2 AND SIT DOWN PAINSTIL TILL THE LATTER STAGES OF THE SECOND HALD. PAINSTIL DID A GOOD JOB AT HOLDING THE RIGHT BACK SPOT.
AA BETTER PUT WAKASSO N KISSI BOATENG AT THE LEFT BACK. MOVE KASA TO ATTACKIN MIDFIELDER.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY BOYE WAS ALLOWED TO START. AA, SHOULD USE AKAMINKO AND AWAL AS STARTERS INSTEAD
THIS IS A WOEFUL PERFORMANCE. IM DISAPPOINTED. WE CANT GO ANYWHERE IS OUR DEFENCE MAKES CARELESS MISTAKES LIKE THIS..TWEAAAA!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY…AT ALL TIMES
GYAN IS A FOOLISH STRIKER. HE HAS NO KILLER INSTINCT INFRONT OF THE NET. ANY STRIKER WHO CANT SMELL BLOOD INFRONT
OF THE NET IS USELESS, IMPOTENT STRIKER!
WHY ARE THE NAMES ON THESE FOOLISH TYE N DYE PUMA JERSEYS IN SMALL CAPS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY? GFA, DID PUMA GIVE US A DISCOUNT TO HVE
OUR NAMES IN SMALL LETTERS OR NOT? ATROCIOUS JERSEYS FROM PUMA. AFCON HAS TURNED INTO A PUMA FASHION SHOWCASE….FOOLISH GFA!
NYANTAKYI NEEDS BINOCULARS NOT GLASSES, BCOS HE STILL CANT SEE SHIT!
True dat adomah. leroy was veri influential too
Good game from Ghana though I believe that DRCongo played better football as ball possession stats suggest. Ghana is a very good team however the expectation on the players is too much. Please relax, these guys are young, not ready yet to win such a tournament.
Please, the GFA should better go and bring back our MILO from SERBIA so that we can have our energy of 2010 back. We need to have energy, which was seriously lacking in the match. The organisation was bad, midfield, dead and attack impotent. It is because we have taken MILO for a long time. BRING BACK MILOVAN RAJEVAC
Don’t even go there.
I DIDNT SEEANY RUNNING DOWN THE FLANKS FROM ADOMAH. I DIDNT SEE ANY CROSSES FROM ADOMAH. WHY, BCOS HE WAS ALLOWED TO STEP BACK N HELP PAINSTIL. AA, WE DONT NEED THIS FOOLISHNESS. ALLOW AKAMINKO OR AFFUL TO PLAY THE 2 N SIT PAISNTIL DOWN. ALLOW KISSI OR WAKASO TO PLAY THE 3.
KASA SHOULD PLAY IN MIDFIELD DELIVERING PASSES TO STRIKERS. AWAL MJUST ASTART AGAINST MALI
GOOD POINT ON PLAYING AFFUL AT RIGHT BACK AND BENCHING PANTSIL. I DONT KNOE WHAT A.A HAS TAKEN FROM DEREK BOATENG AND JOHN PANTSIL. apuuuu players!
The same Milo who lost his first African cup of nations game?? Give me a break! He is useless. He even failed at Qatar and is now unemployed…
…. but took the BS to the finals only to be beaten by Egypt (by the way it was in the qualis, I think!)
sorry first game, but took the BS to the finals, HE WAS NOT USELESS!
guys lets relax ok,its not lyk we lost
Boss, would you mind changing your ‘stage’ name? We Zambians dont understand your use of this name?
amen in 2010 ghana lost their first game and we ended up in the finals so relax we will beat mali and stop putting so much
on ghana
when we lost our first match in 2010,is’t not Dede Ayew help us qualify? where’s he? and who can do that job now?
KEYS TO WIN AFCON!
IF THIS SQUAD WANTS TO WIN. DO THIS, AA.
NO TIRI MU D3 OR COMPLACENCY, PLS
AA, U FAILED TASK NUMBER 1….
Mali is now leading your group and they not gonna let u spoil it 4 them.We are going to be armed to the teeth 4 Niger trust me on this.
Mali are no push over as u can recall from last year..so u better watch out!
Nigeria 4 Zambia 1
Please your stage name is an insult to us Zambians,Africans let us stop the War of Insults
We are all Africans let is respect each other. Zambia, Ghana, Nigeria etc are artificial boundaries created by Europeans and we act like it is the way things ought to be. Very sad indeed. All Africans are Brothers.
Interesting game.
It was better than the other game. Give credit where it is due. Ghana played well, so did Congo. It was not a fluke draw. If you feel that Ghana won then game before playing, then you should have had your game in the bedroom. I enjoyed the game all the way.
To be fair DRC played very well. They are a good side. You underrate them at your own peril.
What! Give credit to congo eh? Come home after the first round and we shall stone you. And as for Gyan, the earlier he retires from the team the better
