AFCON 2021: Ghana Coach CK Akonnor reacts to Black Stars ’Okay’ draw

Black Stars head coach, Charles Kwabla Akonnor says Ghana’s Group for the 2022 African Cup of Nations(AFCON) is ‘Okay’ but he is not under pressure to deliver the title. 

Ghana have been drawn in Group C together with Morocco, Comoros and Gabon for the tournament that will kick off in January 2022. 

The four times winners would hope to lay hands on the AFCON trophy for the first time since 1982. 

Speaking to TV3 Akonnor said: 

“I think the draw is okay. I didn’t come here [to Cameroon] with expectations of which group I want to be in or not” 

“Nowadays football is evolving and so you cannot expect weaker things.

“We are preparing feverishly for the tournament and the world cup qualifiers and I’m sure we will be ready,” he said.

“I am not under any pressure [to win the tournament]. You guys [the media] give me pressure back home but for me, I don’t care.”
