Ghana Black Meteors deputy coach Michael Osei believes the Black Stars have what it takes to win the impending 2019 AFCON in Egypt.

Osei reiterated that Ghana are in pole position to lift the trophy again after 37 years and is about time good things are said about the team by the general public.

“We are favourite for the Afcon. Ghanaians should say positive words to the black stars instead of the negative thoughts.” Osei told New Mecury FM.

“Even your own son or daughter if you say negative things to, it eventually become a curse on him or her. We should also respect the coach.”

The Black Stars are currently in Dubai preparing for the AFCON and will face defending champions Cameroon as well as minnows Guinea Bissau and Benin in Group F of the tournament.
