Despite the significant win over Ivory Coast, concerns have been raised about Ghana’s approach to the upcoming game against Benin, especially since Benin narrowly lost 1-0 to Ivory Coast.
However, Laryea Kingston is certain that his team will maintain their focus and avoid complacency in the match against Benin.
“Complacency? Oh no! It’s not in our dictionary,” Laryea reacted when asked whether his boys will be complacent against Benin.
“We have our style and that is what we hope to show. We aim to dominate the game in terms of possession and win and that’s what we will be doing on Tuesday.”
“As for the Ivory Coast game, it’s past and gone and we’ve forgotten about it. The most important game for us now is Benin and we will approach it with all the necessary seriousness,”
Ghana is looking to qualify for the Under-17 AFCON in 2025 after missing out in the last two editions of the competition.
