Head coach of Ghana’s female senior national team, Kim Lars Bjorkegren has opened up on their international friendly against Morocco.
The Swedish trainer admits that playing against the North Africans will be a challenging task. The Black Queens will take on Morocco's Atlas Lioness on Friday in Casablanca in a friendly game as part of preparations for this year’s WAFCON.
Speaking ahead of his first test as the head coach of the team, Björkegren said the main aim of the exercise will be to improve certain aspects of the team and build a stronger squad for the future. “Morocco is a good team with a lot of talent. Playing away from home will be a challenge, especially with our new coaching staff and players," the 43-year-old said.
“But we're focused on building for the long term, learning from our mistakes, and preparing for the summer tournament. “We'll work hard to win, but we're also looking at the bigger picture,” he added.
Ghana will take on Morocco at 17:00Hrs in Casablanca on Friday before locking horns with AS FAR Rabat three days later.
Meanwhile goalkeeper of the side, Cynthia Konlan has expressed confidence ahead of their friendly match against Morocco later today. "We're confident in our abilities and believe we have an advantage over Morocco," she told the Ghana FA website.
"They might be relying on outdated information about our playing style, which could work in our favour. "We're ready to take them by surprise and make the most of this opportunity," she added.
