We are going for revenge against Uruguay – Mohammed Salisu

Mohammad Salisu, a Black Stars defender, stated that they will be out for blood when Ghana plays Uruguay in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

When Ghana was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup, it dealt a devastating blow to the entire African continent.

Late in extra time, the Black Stars were awarded a penalty for a handball by Luis Suarez. Asamoah Gyan missed the ensuing penalty shootout, leading to the Black Stars’ eventual loss in penalty shootouts.

Salisu wants vengeance against Uruguay ahead of the Black Stars’ second group-stage matchup at the 2019 World Cup.

“Ghanaians are looking forward to that game because we are going for revenge,” he told Southampton’s media team.

“I’m also looking forward to the game and I need to be with my country and fight for my country. I think I’m part of the revenge.

“When we played against Uruguay at the [2010] World Cup, Ghana was the best team African team at that World Cup and that memory inspires me.”

The Black Stars before playing their first game in Qatar will come up against Switzerland in a friendly match on Thursday, November 17.
