Desmond Ofei, the head coach of Ghana’s U20 national team, the Black Satellites, is optimistic about their upcoming match against Gambia at the ongoing 2023 African Games.
Following a frustrating goalless draw with Congo U-20 in their tournament opener on Friday afternoon, Ofei remains steadfast in his team's capabilities for the next game.
The Congo draw was contentious to some extent, considering the fact that Ghana scored a goal many thought should have stood but it was ruled out for offside.
In a post-match press conference, Coach Ofei reiterated his confidence in the team's game plan and the players' ability to score goals and secure a victory against Gambia. He emphasized maintaining consistency and not altering their approach based on the opponent.
Ofei stated, “I don’t think a lot will change towards the next game. The game plan will stay the same. We have enough quality. We will get it right against Gambia. We won’t adapt to the opponent. We will play our game.”
The highly anticipated match between Ghana and Gambia is scheduled for March 12 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
