Head coach of Ghana U20, Desmond Sakyi Ofei, has stated that his side is highly focused ahead of their semi final game against Senegal at the ongoing African Games.
The Black Satellites will come up against their West African foes on Tuesday at the Accra Sports Stadium for a spot in the final.
Coach Ofei has, however, bemoaned his side's readiness to win gold and make history with the team.
"For us once again, it's against a very tough opponent. Senegal is a good team and they did well last year in the U17 and U20 tournaments. They went to the World Cup and got one loss and two draws," Ofei said in a pre-match presser.
In the last 18 months Senegal has been a tough nut to crack - dominating all youth competitions as well as beach soccer.
"We are also in a rebuild and my players have rested well and we are preparing really well for the semis. There is no luck in the semis. To reach the semi-finals means you are doing something right," added the gaffer.
"We have to stay true to ourselves and what we did in the past is to replicate and multiply it. We have to be tactically aware and be sharp on the duels. We need to be well organised and control the ball well. That's what we stand for and I think we are improving game by game. We need to be focused on the game at hand against Senegal."
