Anger after losing is not a bad thing â?? Otto Addo embraces frustration as sign of commitment

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has made it clear that he welcomes frustration and anger from his players after defeat, viewing such emotions as evidence of genuine passion and ambition within the squad.

In a revealing statement about his coaching philosophy, Addo explained that he actively seeks players who react strongly to setbacks rather than those who accept losses quietly.

"I like players who are going to challenge and question me or who are angry when they lose," he said.

According to the coach, displays of frustration after defeat demonstrate that players truly care about the team's progress and are unwilling to settle for mediocrity. He believes that a healthy team environment allows room for discussion, accountability, and the desire to constantly improve.

"Anger after losing is not a bad thing," Addo stressed. "It's a sign of ambition and commitment."

The coach's remarks offer a clear window into the culture he is cultivating as the Black Stars intensify preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His message sends an unambiguous signal: quiet acceptance has no place in his dressing room—only those with fighting spirit will thrive.

Ghana continues their buildup to the tournament with crucial friendlies against Austria and Germany later this month, ahead of their World Cup campaign in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
