Chris Hughton, the coach of the Black Stars, emphasizes that following the setback against Cape Verde, the team is compelled to secure a positive outcome in their upcoming match against Egypt.
With the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations off to a disappointing start for Ghana, avoiding defeat on Thursday against Egypt in their second group game is crucial to sustaining their tournament aspirations.
Hughton asserts that the team must make every effort to achieve another ‘favorable result’ against Egypt to appease the fans.
“it’s up to us now to recover tomorrow. And we know now that going into the Egypt game, it’s a game that we have to get a good result from. I think that has to be the mentality,” the Irish trainer said during the post-match presser.
“The players have to be aware of what this means and how disappointed everybody associated with the country and with the team.
And we have no choice. We have no choice but to make sure that it’s a favourable result in our next game against Egypt.”
The match against the Pharaohs is at 8:00pm today at Stade Felix-Houphouet-Boigny.
The other Group B game will feature Mozambique coming up against Cape Verde.
