Samuel Inkoom excited to lead Ghana’s Under-23 team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Defender Samuel Inkoom has spoken of his delight to captain Ghana\u2019s Olympic team and insists they are favourites to qualify for the All Africa Games despite losing to Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Meteors succumbed to a second half onslaught from the Dream Team V to lose 3-1 at Benin City on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Dnipro defender, who wore the armband for the first time in the absence of Marseille winger Andre Ayew, was disappointed he marked it with defeat to rivals Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s always a great pride to be captain of any of the national teams but unfortunately we lost ground in the first leg but we promise to bounce back,\u201d Inkoom told Asempa FM<\/p>\n

\u201dWe have the men who will be capable of turning the scoreline in the second leg in our favour and we\u2019re not going to lose concentration at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ex-Basle player has given US$10,000 to his team-mate to serve as a morale booster ahead of the second leg in two weeks time<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
