Ghana international defender Eric Addo refutes reports making the rounds that he is hanging his up boots on the international scene after the 2010 World Cup finals.
“I don’t remember saying I wanted to retire after the World Cup; be it from international football or from the sport generally.
“Obviously once I am strong and healthy and involved at club level then playing for the national team is something I will still do,” the midfielder told KickOffGhana.com.
The Roda JC player was quoted in a Ghanasoccernet.com report this week to have said that he is going to retire from international football after next summer’s World Cup in South Africa.
He has been instrumental in helping his west African side qualify for the World Cup for the second time. He played in all but one of the qualifying matches.
Addo stated that he is poised to face any team as the World Cup draw takes place in Cape Town this Friday.
He added: “I think once you have qualified for the tournament you must be prepared for any team. Before our last World Cup the theory was that there was no way we could qualify from a group that contains Italy and Czech Republic but once it came down to the field of play we rubbished that so we are up for it.
“The most important thing is that in June we will go to South Africa with confidence and our minds on the job at hand because many of the teams will come with players we meet on a weekly basis.”
