Accra, June 29, GNA - Ghana's Black Satellites coach, Sellas
Tetteh remains flattered by his side's impressive start to the next
African Youth Championship qualifiers but insists the battle has just
begun. Ghana squeezed five goals past Angola in their first qualifier
played at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra to give their campaign a
major boost and meaning but coach Tetteh believes their opponents
could be tricky at home. Mario Queta had gifted Angola the lead in the 12th minute before
Ghana staged a come back to ensure a solid win in the game the
Southern Africans proved to be worthy opponents. Coach Tetteh told GNA Sports 'it is a very comfortable win for us today but Angola can be very tricky at home. "They played very well except that we were better on the day and
got the goals. "We will have to be very watchful for the return game because I
envisage they will be tougher at home." Ghana is seeking qualification to the competition she missed twice
in succession and the coach is convinced his charges could succeed
where their two predecessors failed. "This team is determined to qualify for the competition. Coach Tetteh said understands that qualification would not come
on a silver platter and therefore do well to psyche up the boys to
carry high the flag of Ghana in the second leg. "We are aware of the task ahead and will work hard to ensure we
qualify in the end." The Satellites would need at least a point from the return leg
before they clear two more hurdles to book a place in the tourney
billed for Rwanda in December. Tetteh's star-studded team would however have to work extra
hard in search of regular places in the squad. With such tested players like Ishmael Yartey and Daniel Opare all
reduced to substitute in the game, the coach warned and insisted that
"selection will solely be done purely on performance and not by
names."
