Former Black Stars midfielder Anthony Annan provides valuable insights into optimizing the performance of the Ghanaian national team in the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Annan, who played a pivotal role for the Black Stars between 2007 and 2013, emphasizes the significance of team familiarity and consistent play among squad members as they prepare for the AFCON campaign in Ivory Coast.
Drawing parallels with his era, Annan underscores the importance of players maintaining a cohesive and consistent playing style for success.
Expressing hope that the current squad will establish strong connections on the field, he states, "If they play consistently amongst themselves, it will be okay like during our time, so we are praying that they can identify each other because the task before them is big. They can contain it and show their worth like how we were able to do during our time," as quoted by German-based Pipapipa Media.
In the lead-up to AFCON 2023, the Black Stars are gearing up to face Cape Verde, Mozambique, and Egypt in their pursuit of a fifth AFCON trophy.
Despite missing influential midfielder Thomas Partey due to injury, the team remains determined to overcome historical challenges and secure victory in the continental competition.
