We’ve put the Morocco defeat behind us and are determined to defeat Guinea – Ibrahim Tanko
Black Meteors Head Coach Ibrahim Tanko says his players are in high spirits and have put their below-par performance against Morocco behind them.
Tanko insists his team is determined to win against Guinea on Friday and qualify to the next stage of the competition.
Ghana’s qualification however hangs on the upcoming game on Friday with both teams locked on three points behind Morocco who are on six points.
“We have watched the last game again and have worked on correcting what went wrong.
“We have to put it behind us and I think the team is ready for the game tomorrow. The opponent needs only a draw but we know we have to win the game to go to the next stage”.
“We are well psyched mentally and physically to win the game. We had a good training session yesterday and the boys showed me in training that they are ready for a win”. Coach Tanko stated at the pre-match press conference on Thursday.
The former Ghana forward also hinted there is likely to be changes to the starting line up to get the best out of his players.
“We have watched and studied the Guinean team and we have different players that can make up the best starting 11 for the match. We will make some changes and we hope these changes will help achieve our aims.”
“We have no injury so far. We’v had two days of rest and we made good use of it. I am sure tomorrow everyone will be ready for the game”, the Black Meteors head Coach reiterated.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 9pm local time (8pm GMT) at the Grand Stade Tanger.
