Black Stars Of Ghana Shift Attention To Winning First Match In Nations Cup Tomorrow

Black Stars of Ghana have the opportunity to pick their first win in 2022 Africa Cup of Nations as they engage Gabon tomorrow. The second group game could determine the ambition of both sides as they aim to advance out of Group C. 

Black Stars of Ghana failed to glitter in the opening game against Morocco as they lost by a lone goal. Dede Ayew and his colleagues were found chasing shadows, after struggling to outclass the opponent in both halves of the game. 

Milovan Rajevac and his lads were tipped to come good after losing to Algeria in a preparatory match. Loopholes identified in that game were expected to be rectified and set the team on a winning note. This was in sharp contrast to what was seen in the opening fixture. 

Black Stars of Ghana attack were lifeless as midfielders could not supply balls for strikers to bang goals. Key players were out of the party, compelling the team to give away balls and conceded with eight minutes to end proceedings. 

Having gone down by a goal, Milovan Rajevac decide to introduce substitutes but that was late to salvage the situation. 

In tomorrow’s crucial encounter, Black Stars of Ghana are required to right the wrongs, give a five star performance to claim their first three points. With this intention, Milovan Rajevac could be making changes in the line up that started against Morocco. 

The team is obliged to create goal bound chances and feed front men with passes that are directed at the main target. 

Dede Ayew, Thomas Partey and Joseph Paintsil may have to lead the charge for the Senior National team. A formidable display from these players could set the way for victory. Daniel Amartey may be tasked with the responsibility of ensuring sanity and purpose at the rear. His experience will be needed to prevent balls from making way or stop opposing players from breaching the defense and score. 

Interestingly, Gabon – after winning their opening game against Comoros – is poised to make it two out of two, to be able to progress to the next stage of the continental competition. Gabon are joint group leaders with Morocco, with the former looking forward to staging a good show to keep their position. 

They will be going all out to ensure they conquer Black Stars and make things easy in their last group game. 

Whiles Gabon count on earning all points, Black Stars of Ghana have a game to play with deep emphasis on plucking maximum points to reignite their ambitions.
