African Games 2023: We will still qualify – Black Satellites coach
Black Satellites coach Desmond Ofei remains unperturbed despite Ghana’s stuttering start in the men’s football competition of the Accra 2023 African Games.
The Satellites were held by Congo to a goalless draw on Friday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Ghana went close on two occasions; first through Aziz Misibau’s long-range effort that cannoned off the crossbar with 15 minutes to go.
Ten minutes later, substitute Michael Epson’s tap-in was ruled out for offside.
When asked if he was worried about the result, Ofei expressed confidence in his team’s chances of progressing.
“I am not worried about the result. It does not change much for us. We played quite well and created enough chances to win,” Offei insisted.
“I know we have the quality in the squad and with different profiles. In the second half, we showed that and significantly improved. So I believe we will qualify” he concluded.
Ofei has been in charge of the Black Satellites since he was promoted from his role as assistant coach in September 2023.
He had previously served as assistant to Samuel Boadu for nine months at the Black Satellites.
Ghana’s next match is a clash with The Gamba on Wednesday, March 12, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
