2023 U-23 AFCON: We are ready for Morocco – Ibrahim Tanko

Black Meteors head coach Ibrahim Tanko is confident his squad will be ready for their game against Morocco on Tuesday evening.

Ghana will go head-to-head with the host nation at the ongoing U-23 Africa Cup of Nations knowing that a win could them book a place in the semifinal of the competition.

In their opening game at the tournament, the Black Meteors conceded two late goals after scoring three, which left Tanko furious after the game.

However, the gaffer says it was necessary to let his players know their mistakes and believes things are 'good' now ahead of the clash against Morocco.

"I think after each game, you come out with your feelings and I told the boys my feelings [after the game against Congo] and everything is good now," he told the media.

"We have to prepare for the next game and we have everything on course so we are cool now and ready for the game [against Morocco]."

Just like Ghana, Morocco also secured all three points in their first game. They came from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Guinea which also puts them in pole position to advance from the group if they beat the Black Meteors.

Tanko says both teams chasing early progression to the next stage will make the game an interesting one to watch.

"We are looking forward to this game. Both teams have won their first match and I am sure it's going to be a good game [today]," he added.

"Both teams won and definitely the Moroccans have their strategy for the second game and so have we."

After Tuesday's game, Ghana's last group game will be against Guinea while the latter also play Congo in their second game.
