Black Stars to camp in Kenya for Malawi clash

Black Stars players training in Accra ahead of June's World Cup qualifier against Lesotho

Ghana will camp in Kenya ahead of this month’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations final qualifying round second leg tie against Malawi.

The 21-man squad named by coach Kwasi Appiah on Tuesday will converge at a yet to be disclosed location in Kenya to prepare for the crucial game next weekend.

All the foreign-based players in the team will travel directly to the camping base in Kenya after their weekend’s engagement.

The coach and members of his technical team as well as the four invited home-based players will also leave for Kenya after Sunday’s Ghana Premier League opening day.

Kenya is seen as a very suitable venue to prepare the team for what expects to be a tough game in Malawi.

The Black Stars must defend a 2-0 first leg result in Lilongwe on 13 October.

I don’t see this as a shake up. I think he tries to call right guys for the job.

Good move to camp in Kenya, I hope they pick a high elevation stadium to practice at. It will help with building strong stamina to face the very fit Malawi squad.

“STYLE OF PLAY”
BARCELONA ARE NOTHIG EXTRAORDINARY. ALL THEY DO IS THIS…
EACH PLAYER IS LIMITED TO 2 AT MOST 3 TOUCHES ON THE FIELD. PASS, BREAK AND PASS ETC. THEY DO THIS THROUGHOUT THE GAME. THEY PASS THE BALL TO
WHOEVER IS ON THE LEFT, RIGHT OR INFRONT AS THEY ATTEMPT TO SCORE. THE ONLY TIME U SEE ANY BARCA PLAYER HOLDING THE BALL IS WHEN THEY R IN
THE 18 YARD BOX. WATCH THEM VERY CAREFULLY. THIS IS HOW THEY BEAT OPPONENTS. THE MINUTE AN OPPOSING PLAYER ATTEMPTS TO HOLD UNTO THE BALL, ITS
TAKEN AWAY IMMEDIATELY, AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES ALL OVER. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO HOLD BALL POSSESSION.
WAT DO MEAN BY “STYLE OF PLAY” IN AFRICA? SPAIN HAS WON 2 EURO CUPS AND REIGNING WCUP CHAMPS WITH THIS STYLE. WOMP3 WEI NA WOP3 WHAT?
IM PROLLY SURE THE SPANIARDS COPIED THIS FROM THE BRASILIANS.
