FC Nordsjalland assistant coach Mas-ud Didi Dramani says Ghana’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] The knockout loss to Sudan should not be attributed to the team’s coach, CK Akonnor,
Before Tuesday’s game at Omdurman, the Black Stars needed only one point to seal their qualification for the competition to be held in Cameroon.
Mohamed Abdelrahman’s goal in injury time ensured a 1-0 victory for the hosts.
Dramani, who previously coached Kumasi Asante Kotoko, believes that Ghana can still qualify for the AFCON tournament.
“Ghana will surely qualify for Afcon despite losing to Sudan on Tuesday, we shouldn’t blame the coach.” Said according to Footballmadeinghana.
“We must support him, we must build the team around the experienced players on the team like Mubarak Wakaso, Andre Ayew, John Boye, Jordan Ayew and the like so that we can build a strong team.
“Forming a team is a gradual process, so we should take our time for CK Akonnor.” He concluded.
Akonnor has already assured the Ghanaians that the team will qualify and says they will work hard to ensure they win the last two matches in the race for a place in the tournament.
Ghana will face South Africa and São Tomé in their next matches in the AFCON playoffs in March next year.
The Black Stars continue to lead Group C despite the loss and are tied at 9 points with South Africa, with Sudan just 3 points behind the leaders.
