U-20 AFCON: Black Satellites coach Karim Zito anticipates difficult Cameroon game

Published on: 25 February 2021

Satellites head coach, Karim Zito believes their game against Cameroon in the on-going African U-20 Cup of Nations will be a difficult game.

The Satellites came through as one of the best two third placed teams, having finished off with four points.

They won 4-0 against Tanzania before drawing drawing 0-0 with group winners Morocco, but it was their final day 2-1 loss at the hands of Gambia that dipped them to third in the standings.

Speaking at a post-match presser, coach Zito said, "Anytime Ghana plays Cameroon, it is not an easy match for both teams and it will be very interesting tomorrow.

"It will be an explosive match because we both want to qualify. It is going to be 11 versus 11 on the pitch and there is no one with an advantage."

He added, "We have made a lot of changes from the game against Gambia. Sometimes it is good to lose because it awakens you. Now the players know that they can be beaten and they are ready, their objective is to win the game."

"We have four players who will be missing through injury (Eric Appiah, Sulemana Mohamed, Aloma Benjamin and Sampson Agyapong).

"We will miss them but we have to go in and fight for victory."

Ghana who are playing in their 12th AFCON Under-20 tournament are seeking their fourth title and a first since 2009.
