Ghana defender Hans Adu Sarpei has reiterated the team's desire to advance to the semi-final stage insisting they need to focus to beat Uruguay on Friday.
The Black Stars-Africa's remaining hope at the tournament-needed an extra-time goal to go one better than the last 16 berth secured four years ago in Germany.
The left-back claims making it to the last four is big on the minds of the players and the technical team.
ââ¬ÅWeââ¬â¢re dreaming to go to the semi-finals and even the finals. But Uruguay is next so we have to focus on them. We know we are making Ghanaians very happy but we donââ¬â¢t know the level of celebration back home in Ghana,â⬠Sarpei said on Monday.
ââ¬ÅI think if we beat Uruguay, the whole country [Ghana] will break down and we want to do that. We are confident of making the semi finals.ââ¬
Sarpei, who turns 34 today (Monday), has started in all of Ghana's four games at the tournament.
