Ghana's Andre Ayew shared his World Cup ambitions with FIFA official site:

- We couldn’t be any prouder or happier to be back on the world stage. All of us know what a big deal this is for people worldwide. I feel that now we’re back, at long last, we’ve put the disappointment of 2018 behind us.

Portugal are up there among the favourites and their quality stands out. Not to mention having one of the best players in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. It promises to be a momentous occasion and we have to live up to what people expect. We will fight and give our all on the pitch. Korea Republic also have a very strong and solid team, who all know each other well. It's a very tough group. I think the teams are more or less on a par, apart from Portugal, who are favourites.
