AFCON 2021: Black Stars will bounce back to winning ways against Gabon – Kurt Okraku   

President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kurt Okraku has said the Black Stars will bounce back from Monday’s defeat against Morocco and win their next two matches in Group C to progress at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The four-time African Champions lost their game on Monday after a disappointing performance resulted in a 1-0 defeat against favorites Morocco.

Sofiane Boufal scored the game’s only goal in the 83rd minute as Morocco claim another win over the Black Stars.

Speaking to media at the team’s training on Wednesday morning, Kurt Okraku expressed the players are ready to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Gabon.

“The team has recovered very well and training has been impressive. The players in training today have sent a clear message and signal about their readiness. The boys would come back to winning ways and I’m extremely positive about our upcoming game against the Gabonese on Friday”

“The boys have recovered and promises to be competitive and respectful ask Ghanaians to throw their support behind this squad. This is a team that is made up of predominantly young players with 17 debutantes. That tells you clearly that the future of the Black stars is very bright and it starts now. We need to be competitive and win against both Gabon and Comoros in the next two games.”, he added.

Ghana go into the next game in search of a win against Gabon on Friday.
