Coach threatens Black Stars with his plan

During a press event held ahead of the Mozambique-Ghana AFCON clash, the coach admitted that the upcoming game promises to be a tough one.

Similar to Ghana, Mozambique drew its first game and lost its second. However, the Mozambiquan coach believes his team will be playing against a frustrated Ghanaian side despite the quality of the team.

In his press briefing, he said, "We know Ghana hasn’t won a match and understandably are somehow frustrated and don’t have peace of mind even though they have some quality. They play with the motivation of the fans also. We will try to provoke them and approach the match as a final.”

The coach's daring statement during the press event has gotten many Ghanaian fans talking ahead of the much-anticipated clash.
