Black Galaxies coach, Annor Walker, in my is confident his team will put up a different attitude when they face Sudan in their crucial game of the 2022Â African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Ghana suffered a 2-1 defeat against Madagascar in their Group C opener on Sunday at the Stade Chahid Hamlaoui.
The Black Galaxies will hope to record their first win when they come up against the Sudanese on Thursday in their second group game.
Ahead of the game, the veteran trainer says though he was unhappy with the result on Sunday, he believes the team was poised to win against Sudan to secure a place in the next round of the competition.
“I wasn’t happy with my team, especially in the first half. We did not play the way we are used to. Our players were not mobile and after the changes in the second half we played better,” he told the Ghana FA website.
“They were not a better side. We lost because we didn’t play the way we normally play. In the second half when we made our changes you see that we dominated the game but we failed to take our chances and that caused us,” he said.
