GHANA 0-3 MALI: CK Akonnor Explains Why Ghana Failed in the Match
The Black Stars head coach has opened up on why his side was hammered by the Eagles of Mali in an international friendly on Friday.
Coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor has blamed lack of teamwork for Ghana’s disappointing performance against Mali.
The four-time Africa Cup of Nations Champions suffered a painful 3-0 defeat to Mali in an intentional friendly staged at the Emir Hotel Sports Complex in Turkey.
“I won’t blame the players for the defeat but the key thing which resulted our loss to Mali was that the team was not organized,” Akonnor told Adom TV
“The players didn’t know themselves because most of them were debutants and even the first time they’re playing together.”
“We trained for only two days and there was lack of understanding as well. These are the few things which affected us during the game”
“Mali didn’t play anything extraordinary but they were an organized side which handed them the victory”
Ghana will face Qatar in another international friendly at the Emir Hotel Sports Complex on October 12.
Ghana are currently preparing for their next month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers double-header against Sudan.
