Black Queens of Ghana head coach Bashiru Hayford has hailed Sea Lions FC after his side were held to a goalless drawn game on Tuesday.
The female national team had thrashed their opponents of Ashanti, Brong Ahafo and Northern regions during their nationwide tour but they were unable to find the back of the net in their first test game in the Central region against Paa Kwesi Ndoum’s Sea Lions FC.
“This particular game is good because if you have a team and you have been scoring everybody and now you come here and they (Sea Lions) hold you then you have to know that there are other teams that can hold you.” Bashiru Hayford said after the game.
“I like their (Sea Lion’s) organization.”
“This means they (Black Queens) should not be psychologically happy that they have been scoring 4, 5,6 somewhere. Now they have been held.”
” I like the organization of this team ( Seq Lions) and you know we have about three players in our team from this team (Sea Lions) and do you could imagine how strong they are,” Bashiru added.
Black Queens will now play a Takoradi select side on Wednesday.
In the meantime, Bahiru Hayford has said that he hopes the normalisation committee accepts his proposal for the Black Queens to play Zambia, Nigeria and South Africa in international friendlies to better prepare the Queens for the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations which kicks off in November in Ghana.
