Black Starlets head coach Ben Fokuo is not worried after losing 2-1 to Morocco in an international on Monday.
The Starlets conceded two goals in the early stages of the first half but came back stronger in the second half to reduce the deficit.
Ghana will look to make amends on Thursday when they clash with their Moroccan counterparts in the second game in Rabat.
“I think in the early stages of the game we were surprised by the Moroccans. The team is still young and we are still developing the players for the future,” Fokuo said after Monday’s game, as reported by the Ghana Football Association’s official website.
“The first half wasn’t the best but I think we improved in the second half. The players were playing in cold weather for the first time and you could tell from their performance that they aren’t used to the environment.”
Coach Fokuo is aimed at building a formidable side for the future as Ghana couldn’t qualify for the U-17 Total Africa Cup of Nations.
“I am not worried about the score line. At this stage results don’t matter in these kinds of situations. We are looking ahead to the future, player development, team performance, exposure, technical ability and all other ingredients that are needed to make the team better in future,” he added.
“So, for me, results don’t matter at all. The players needed this tour badly to get exposed to playing abroad and that was the purpose of coming here and it’s been well achieved here in Morocco.
“Tomorrow, we will have a brief recovery training to get those who didn’t play some drills. For those who played today, we will continue with their recovery before we do group training on Wednesday for the second game.”
