Skipper for the Black Stars of Ghana, Andre Dede Ayew has indicated that he has been impressed with the determination exhibited by the players at their training camp ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
With the AFCON set to start in Egypt this Friday, the Black Stars are expected to wrap up their training regimen in Dubai and move to their base in Ismaily where they will stay for the Group phase of the tournament.
Speaking in a recent interview, the formal u-20 World Cup Star has noted that all the players have been working hard and have shown determination in their quest to win gold at this year’s tournament.
“We've been training very hard and it's been a wonderful trip here. We have been working hard with the players and the staff. We had two sessions a day for a very long while”
“We did a lot of gym work, we did a lot of different sets of training. But I have seen a lot of determination. I have seen a lot of players working hard to get to their top shape both technically and tactically, Captain Dede Ayew said.
The Swansea player further assured that they will continue working hard to get into the best shape in order to be in good shape for the upcoming assignment.
“And we keep on working hard. We believe that is the only way we can make it. We need to keep working as a team”.
The Black Stars who are in Group F alongside Benin, Guinea Bissau, and Cameroon, will leave Dubai on Thursday for Egypt ahead of kick off on Friday.
