Partey on scoring for Ghana
I feel good, especially because we were able to win the game. The most important thing is to get the results after a hard day and so we are happy.
On switching positions in the course of the match
I think it is the decision of the coach and he knows where every player in the pitch can play. We started with me playing behind because we have a lot of talent ahead who can score goals. The couch made a change for Baba to come in and I moved forward.
On whether he is comfortable in an advanced role or defensive role
Everywhere on the pitch where I can help in the national team, I am ready to sacrifice. I don’t mind defending, attacking. Every time I have to play for Ghana, I don’t mind sacrificing and playing in every position
On how to prepare for the reverse fixture on Tuesday
I think the last South Africa game, unluckily most of the players weren’t able to go and we lost. But today we did our best but we have to enjoy today and think about Tuesday.
