Defender John Pantsil says Ghana are eager to win back the fans by putting up a sterling display against Chile in Wednesday’s friendly.
The Leicester City right-back is set to captain the Black Stars in the absence of John Mensah at the PPL Park in Philadelphia.
Pantsil was a member of the Ghana squad who failed to meet expectations bu finishing fourth at the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
The Black Stars are without regulars Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu-who is injured-, Asamoah Gyan, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew.
But Pantsil believes his teammates can put up a good fight to clear doubts about their credentials.
“Tomorrow’s game is going to be one of the games that we will tell a lot of people and send the message across to people who think Ghana is no more,” the 30-year-old said at the pre-match conference.
“So the match will be tough and an enjoyable one.”
Debut call-ups have been handed to Afriyie Acquah, Richard Mpong, Dominic Oduro, Patrick Nyarko and striker Abdul Majeed Waris.

O Paintsil why. You also need interviews like this, the singing on tape, the laps of honour with the Ghana flag etc to stay in the picture. Well, it’s your PERFORMANCE that we’ll judge you on. Find yourself a club first.
YAWA network like GSN-vary the english you teach you editors. Everytym SCALP and the same pics. We are tired of monotony
Look we Ghana people have had enough of you guys talking with your mouth and do no shit on the field. I don’t even know why GFA use tax payer’s money to send you to America to waste our time. 30 years without a trophes should be a shame for Ghana. Do you think Chile is a small team? I know you will lose the game……Who cares.

What Tv station in Ghana gona telecast ?
I still can get it!who is behind the imposition of this paintsil guy on the team?this is a player who doesnt command a bench role at his club and yet always gets invitation.what signal are we selling to the rest of the world?both our right and left full is still problematic.instead of inviting active and inform players like nana akwasi,david addy and jerry vandam to justify for that position.the corrupt GFA as usual,pretend all is well.anyway daniel adjei is not even the 1st keeper of liberty,so what the heck is he always favoured ahead of sowah,sammy adjei an others?enough of the favouritism and nepotism!players shd be invited purely on merit.i want to see paintsil,lee addy and daniel adjei following tagoe and adiyiah.they’re liability to the stars!
And Inkoom is out.
Painstil again! Hmmmmmmm,pls go look for a first place in ur team…tired legs
