“Our coaches are also poised to qualify us for the CHAN”
“For the players, we have not seen such discipline players before. They’re very committed to their job. They are motivated to bring good results to Ghana."
"Though the players have not received their winning bonuses but the authorities are working around to solve it”
“We know Nigerians are eager and hungry to eliminate us considering what we did to the Super Eagles in the FIFA World Cup but we are also poised." He concluded
The 2009 CHAN finalists just returned from Austria after a short tour, where they lost 2-1 to Qatar in an international friendly.
