The head coach of the Black Queens of Ghana, Kim Lars Bjorkegren, has rallied his players to be clinical in front of goal in their quarter-final clash against Algeria at the 2024 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Speaking ahead of the encounter on Saturday, July 19, the coach described the opponent as a well-organised team with a good goalkeeper.
Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren noted that if his team would finish the match with a victory, they will have to create better chances and make sure the chances are converted.
He has charged his players not to aim to score fancy goals but to get the ball in the back of the Algerian net by any means necessary.
“Algeria are a really well-organised team, especially in defence, and they have a good goalkeeper.
“We’ve talked about the need to make it a little more difficult for her. We can’t just shoot from 45 meters and hope for the best. We need to create better chances and be clinical. There’s no need to look for fancy goals,” Coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren said.
The quarter-final encounter between Ghana and Algeria on Saturday is scheduled to kick off at 4 pm at Stade Municipal de Berkane.
