FLASHBACK: Dr. Kofi Amoah with some players of bone of the junior national teams
Ghana
Football Association (GFA) Normalization Committee (NC) chairman, Dr. Kofi
Amoah, has drawn positives from the Black Stars’ recent international
friendlies.
Ahead of
this year’s African Cup of Nations, Kwasi Appiah’s men engaged their
Namibian and South African counterparts losing 0-1 and drawing 0-0
respectively.
The
not-too-impressive results have stoked argument in football circles,
questioning the Stars’ capabilities.
But Dr.
Amoah believes the positives drawn in the two games override what pertains to
the face value.
He said
in an interview “I perfectly understand what is racing through the minds
of many Ghanaians because of the uninspiring results, but l can tell you for a
fact that it was a good technical exercise.
“It
presented the coach a good opportunity to really asses his squad ahead of the
tournament. We should not forget every player wants to play in the
championship, so going all out in a friendly and missing out in the real
competition makes no sense.
“Of course, we needed a good result for ranking purposes, but I must say
it was a good exercise. What the team needs from us is total support, even when
the going gets tough‒ that is the real meaning of support.”
“I am confident the team will do well, we have
done our bit as administrators, the technical team have assured me that the
team is peaking in performance so we should rally behind the team to return
home with what we have hankered for all these while,” the NC boss added.
Ghana is
pitted in Group F with Cameroun, Benin and Guinea Bissau.
The Stars will begin the campaign with Benin next Tuesday in Ismailia.
