Ghana captain, Andre Ayew, says the team is gradually seeing progress under head coach, Charles Akonnor. 

The Black Stars lost to Morocco in Rabat before sharing spoils with Côte d’Ivoire on Saturday in an international friendly at the Cape Coast Stadium.

The two games form part of Ghana preparations for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers scheduled for September.

Speaking after the game on Saturday, the former Swansea City star said the team has seen some progression and improvement.

“The coach has done a fantastic job you could see the progression of the squad, the plan behind it. Right now, we have to create chances," he said.

Ayew added that the focus now will be on Ghana’s opening game in the World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia.

“Now we have to get ready for Ethiopia because it is a must-win game. Lately, in the national team, my goal scoring record has been good, and I need to keep it going.

"What is next important for me is to get ready for Ethiopia and that is my target," he added.
