Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Francis Oti Akenten believes the Black Stars stand a good chance of winning the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
The Black Stars suffered their first defeat in the tournament after a free-kick was converted by Egypt’s Mohammed Salah on the 11th minute.
The Black Stars will play DR Congo in Oyem at the quarter final stage of the tournament which is ongoing in Gabon.
Ghana is on a mission to end a thirty five year trophy drought at the Nations Cup.
However, Coach Oti Akenten says the Black Stars are going about their business in a very calculated manner which if continued will win them the AFCON trophy this year.
“The little discussion that I have had with Coach Avram Grant, I think the team is ready and we are waiting to see how it goes.
“From what we saw in our game against Mali, if that is anything to go by, Ghana stand a good chance in ultimately winning the cup”.
“We know it is not going to be easy. We just started the tournament and can’t use one match to access countries or teams, so let’s wait for a little while but I think we are very much ready,” he added.
