We will defend and attack well – Chris Hughton on Angola return leg

Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton, has pledged to ensure that his side leaves no stone unturned when it comes to defense and attack in the return leg against Angola.

Sharing his take ahead of Monday’s game that takes place in Luanda, he said “the approach is that we are up against a good team. I can say something quite obvious, that we will have to defend well and we will have to attack well.  

For Hughton, it is important that there is a balance.

“We have to make sure that we are compact as team – this is for sure, because they are a good quality and they a very technical team.  But we are here to win the game and you can’t win the game unless you give yourself an opportunity to attack and to attack well. We have to be careful how we do this.”

“If the game becomes too open, if it becomes end to end then of course it can be for any team so we have to have a strategy going into the game as we would in any game,” he added.

According to him, the Palancas Negras will fall on the support from their supporters, however, that would not matter much since “we are a good team.”

“We managed to get the victory a few days ago and it’s something we want to build on,” he added.

Ghana beat Angola by a goal when they clashed at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi last Thursday.
