Paintsil featured in two World Cups during his playing career, helping the team reach the quarter-finals in 2010, making Ghana the third African country to reach that stage.
Fans are hopeful of a repeat or better in Qatar and so is the former Leicester City man.
“My expectation is high. I have got so much confidence in this team especially if you look at the technical team. They are experienced enough to know how to deal with a lot of situations,” he stated on Countdown Qatar.
“Their experience will reflect in the players and then the two games they played against Nigeria tell me that the sky is the limit for the Black Stars. Going into Qatar, we have great players. It’s a matter of playing more games together before the World Cup and we’ll be able to have a team. I believe the technical men will turn things around going forward.”
Ghana have been drawn against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H.
