Head coach of the Black Stars, Chris Hughton has expressed growing optimism about the team’s future based on their recent performances.
Ghana recently faced the Central African Republic and Liberia in two matches held in Kumasi and Accra. The Black Stars emerged victorious in both encounters, providing a welcome relief for Hughton, who faced heavy criticism after his initial three games in charge of the team.
Hughton, an Irish trainer, conveyed his satisfaction with the team’s performances in the matches against CAR and Liberia, despite acknowledging areas for improvement.
“I have seen enough in the two games to always give me confidence. There are still things we could have done better. In the first half, we gave the ball away,” he commented after the Liberia game.
He also noted the challenging pitch conditions due to rain but pointed out that the team had sometimes been too careless with possession in the first half. Nevertheless, Hughton remained confident and optimistic, looking forward to the upcoming training camp.
The Black Stars will regroup next month to face Mexico in an international friendly match.
