We won't be pushovers in Morocco - Ghana U-20 coach
Posted On Wednesday, 3rd October 2012
Coach Maxwell Konadu
By Ameenu Shardow
Ghana U-20 coach Maxwell Konadu insists his team will not be bullied by Morocco in the African Youth Championship qualifier on Sunday.
The Black Satellites need to protect a 4-1 advantage secured in the first leg in the return encounter of the final qualifier in Rabat.
And despite being mindful of an expected attacking onslaught by the Moroccans to reverse the scoreline in their favour, Konadu says his team will not be mere pushovers.
“We are lucky we won 4-1 here in the first leg, that has given us the upper hand,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com before the team departed early Wednesday morning.
“They (Morocco) have to do all they can to reverse the result but we won’t allow ourselves to be pushed around.
“We will be very cautious and hit them on the counter.”
The Black Satellites just have to avoid defeat to seal qualification to next year’s final to be hosted in Algeria.
The team has struggled to hit the high standards set by the 2009 team that became the first African side to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt.

“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.
the brazillians have a good midfield but move quicker to the opponents last quater in just 3 progressive passes. But yes i believe the spaniards did take a cue from the brazillians and perfected it.
