“Midfield is my biggest headache” –
Starlets coach
Accra, July 16, GNA – Coach of Ghana’s Black Starlets,
Sellas Tetteh said the midfield of his team remains his
biggest headache as he prepares the team for the next World
Cup scheduled for Korea next month.
He told the GNA Sports that “my biggest headache now is to
transform the midfield to a classy one that can withstand
any team in the world.
“My prime need at this moment is to get a ball juggler who
will make the attack a lot more potent”.
Coach Tetteh said he will look within the 25 players in camp
for that exceptional quality which he envisages will help
solve several problems for his squad.
The Liberty Professionals coach is also seeking to work on
the cohesion of the team as the World Cup that spans August
18 to September 9 fast approaches.
Coach Tetteh is however pleased with the strength of his
defence and attack.
Ghana, twice world champions in 1991 and 1995 are housed
alongside Trinidad and Tobago, Germany and Colombia in Group
F.
The Starlets from July 23 will tour Japan in a two week tour
in search of that needed international exposure which the
Black Stars assistant coach believes remain crucial for the
squad.
“The Japan tour will mean less pressure on the boys.
Training at home means more pressure on them with every one
of them who patronise their sessions wanting a piece of the
action”.
The team will round up its local preparation this week with
four more players expected to be axed to pave way for the
mandated 21 for the event which Ghana failed to qualify
under coach Tetteh in 2003.
Coach Tetteh was appointed less than sixty days to the Korea
championships after his predecessor Fred Osam Doudo exited
citing personal challenges.
He twice failed to qualify the team to both the African and
the World Championship in 2001 and 2003 but remains buoyant
that his charges will atone for his loss with a fine
performance in Korea.
