Black Queens coach, Kim Lars Björkegren has admitted the game against England will be extremely difficult but also they take pride from having the opportunity to play against the current European champions.
After an impressive WAFCON campaign, the Ghana senior women national team bounced back last month where they regrouped to take out Egypt with a 7-0 on aggregate win to book their spot in the next continental showpiece.
As they prepare to take on England in a high-profile international friendly in the final month of the year, the Swedish tactician spoke for the first time on the crunchy clash coming up and had this to say.
“It’s a big game, of course. I think the game is more important in the global world because [England] is the most difficult team to play in the world,” the Swedish trainer said.
“They are probably in the top four in the world together with Spain, France, and the USA right now.
“England are one of the best for sure, and they’re a team that just keeps improving, so it will be a difficult game for us. The fact that they want to play against us is the most important thing.
“We’re talking about a team that can potentially win the World Cup in Brazil. They’re not just going there to participate; they’re going there to win it, and they want to play against us as part of their preparations.”
The Three Lionesses of England will host the Black Queens of Ghana on December 2, at the St Mary’s Stadium.
