Coach Yusif Basigi has explained that he is holding back on the workload for players of his Black Princesses team because they are unaware of the date for their next match.
The Ghana U-20 women’s team has been in camp for over a month now preparing for a meeting with their counterpart from Guinea Bissau in the qualifiers to the 2021 FIFA Women’s U-20 world cup.
According to coach Basigi, he has had to be cautious of the demands on his players in order not to get them fatigued before the upcoming assignment.
“Actually, we are still waiting for them. We are weighing our training regiment so that we don’t over load the players for them to get to the red zone. At times we are a little bit considerate in terms of the loading the players but the Maidens, they already have the date for their game so as our date is not yet in, we are a bit cautious so we don’t give them much load that is why you could see that there is a little bit of fatigue in them”, the coach told the communications team of the GFA.
Coach Yusif Basigi continued, “We don’t need to load them so much and they get to the red zone, by then the date will come and we be found wanting. That is why we are been considerate in terms of loading and pressurizing the players”.
Meanwhile, the coach has emphasized that he is delighted with the current conditions of his players.
