Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom
By Ameenu Shardow
Samuel Inkoom has tweeted a good luck message to the Black Stars ahead of their opening group game at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghana opens its campaign at the tournament being staged in South Africa with a tough opening Group B match against DR Congo in Port Elizabeth on Sunday evening.
It is a game the Black Stars must win to send a clear message of their intention to win the competition after a staggering 31-year wait.
And the Ghana defender who was left out of the squad for the tournament has added his voice to the mounting motivational messages sent to the team hours before kickoff at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
“Good Luck #BlackStars on today’s #AFCON game against Congo! Do it boys!” the FC Dnipro right-back tweeted.
Ghana are one of the teams named as favorites to win the tournament alongside a star-studded Ivory Coast side.
The Black Stars must however qualify from the group which has Mali and Niger as the other group members as a basic requirement to achieving success in South Africa.
that’s good of u
How are you not in the squad?
GHANA VS CONGO DR
SOMETIMES, I DONT KNOW WAT AA IS THINKING
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY FOR EVERY PLAYER…AT ALL TIMES
IN THE FIRST HALF, U COULD VISIBLY SEE THAT GYAN NEEDS HELP. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO DO GIVE N GO!
THE MIDFIELD IS NON EXISTENT, AND DEREK IS NOT DISCIPLINED. DEREK DOSENT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. HE IS USELESS!
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEREK ARE VERY SIMPLE…
A. BREAK/STOP ATTACKING ADVANCES OF OPPONENTS INTO THE GH HALF
B. RELEASE THE BALL TO THE WINGERS OR THE $TRIKERS AND REST. I REPEAT, NO BACK PASSES!
THIS ISNT WAT DEREK WAS DOING. HE WAS CAUGHT TRYING TO BE A STAR ON THE FIELD. HE RARELY TRIES TO STOP OPPONENTS ATTACKS INTO THE GH HALF.
ON THE OCASSION THAT HE DOES, DEREK IS SEEN HOLDING UNTO THE BALL LIKE HE THINKS HE IS MARADONNA OR MESSI. IDIOT, JUST WIN THE BALL AND PASS IT
I TOLD U TO LEAVE DEREK ALONE. NOW U SEE?
I DONT SEE ANY URGENCY, AND SERIOUNESS WITH THE TEAM, YET
THEY R NOT URGENT IN FORCING THE ISSUE. THE BEST PLAYERS THUS FAR HAS BEEN BADU, WAKASSO, AKAMINKO, FATAU
ASAMOAH IS LEAKING THE LEFT BACK AT TIMES. OUR 4 N 5 PLAYERS NEED TO BE AWAKE AT ALL TIMES IN THE 18YARD BOX WHEN THE OPPONRNTS ARE ATTACKING
AA IS NOW PAYING THE PRICE FOR NOT CALLING NATURAL LEFT BACKS LIKE DAVID ADDY AND NANA ASARE
WHY DONT U USE KISSI BOATENG, HUH? U KNOW KISSI BOATENG IS NOT UP TO STANDARD SO WHY DID U EVEN CALL HIM FOR THIS TOURNAMNT?
THE TEAM IS NOT DISCIPLINED. LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF CARDS GH RECEIVED?
HW3, AFFUL CANT PLAY THE 3. THE CONGO DR PLAYERS ARE RUNNING PAST HIM LIKE WATER.
START AFFUL ON THE 2 AND SIT DOWN PAINSTIL TILL THE LATTER STAGES OF THE SECOND HALD. PAINSTIL DID A GOOD JOB AT HOLDING THE RIGHT BACK SPOT.
AA BETTER PUT WAKASSO N KISSI BOATENG AT THE LEFT BACK. MOVE KASA TO ATTACKIN MIDFIELDER.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY BOYE WAS ALLOWED TO START. AA, SHOULD USE AKAMINKO AND AWAL AS STARTERS INSTEAD
THIS IS A WOEFUL PERFORMANCE. IM DISAPPOINTED. WE CANT GO ANYWHERE IS OUR DEFENCE MAKES CARELESS MISTAKES LIKE THIS..TWEAAAA!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY…AT ALL TIMES
GYAN IS A FOOLISH STRIKER. HE HAS NO KILLER INSTINCT INFRONT OF THE NET. ANY STRIKER WHO CANT SMELL BLOOD INFRONT
OF THE NET IS USELESS, IMPOTENT STRIKER!
