Beres Owusu Opens up on Black Stars Ambition
Grazer AK defender Beres Owusu has described himself as a calm and committed defender while expressing ambition to represent Ghana in future.
The 22 year old who plays in the Austrian Bundesliga says composure on the ball and commitment define his playing style.
Speaking in an interview, Owusu explained his approach and the defenders his teammates compare him with.
“As a defender I am very calm on the ball and when given everything I give it my all when on the pitch I like it when we play good football,” he said.
Although he does not idolise any particular player, the French born defender says his teammates have likened his style to some of Europe top defenders.
Owusu’s performances for Grazer AK have reflected those qualities with the defender ranking first in pass accuracy 78 percent and accurate long balls 4.0 in the team during the 2025/26 Austrian Bundesliga season.
He also ranks second in interceptions 1.3 and clearances 5.2 highlighting his growing influence at Grazer AK.
Beyond club football Owusu has made no secret of his desire to represent Ghana insisting he would be ready if called upon by the Black Stars.
His consistent displays for Grazer AK have seen him become an important part of the Austrian club defensive structure contributing both in building play from the back and breaking up opposition attacks in key matches this season.
Owusu believes that continued improvement in positioning communication and decision making will be key to earning a senior international call up and further establishing himself in European football.
The defender says he remains focused on daily training and helping Grazer AK achieve its targets in the ongoing season while waiting for any national team opportunity available.
