Saddick Adams wants to make a mark with the Ghana U23 team
Ghana youth international Saddick Adams is eager for an All-Africa Games glory to quickly erase the painful memories of the 2012 Olympic Games exit.
Adams who earned a call-into the national team for the first time in four years scored the equalizer in Ghana’s one-all draw with Sudan to exit the London summer Olympics qualifiers.
“It has been a very painful experience for us and that’s why we must get results against Benin this weekend to make for our inability to qualify,” Adams said.
“I always want to give more than 100 percent to the national at any given opportunity and we need to make Ghanaian fans happy again. It been very bad for us and they’ve also suffered a lot and we must do something to appease them.”
The Black Meteors host Benin on Saturday in the 2011 All Africa Games penultimate qualifying round first leg tie.
The winner of the two-legged tie will face the winner of the Nigeria-Liberia eliminator for the qualification ticket from zone III.
Ghana failed to progress from the Group stage at the last edition of the All Africa Games in Algeria.
