Black Satellites Coach Jimmy Cobblah insists second leg against Benin will be tough

Published on: 11 August 2018

Head Coach of the national U-20 team of Ghana, the Black Satellites Jimmy Cobblah admits the second leg game against their Benin counterparts will be a tough game.

The Black Satellites are travelling to Benin with a 3-1 advantage, which they have to protect if they are to qualify for the Africa Youth Championship in Niger next year.

However, Coach Jimmy Cobblah believes they have a herculean task ahead of them, if they are to qualify for the Championship.

“It is not going to be easy at all, the second leg will be a difficult one because they will be motivated after scoring here in Ghana,” he told the media.

“They got a goal here which they will be counting on ahead of the second leg and so we must also do everything possible to prevent them from scoring there.

“I know they will open up over there because they will like to score more goals and we will also capitalize on that because I have sharp attackers.”

Ghana missed out on the last edition in Zambia last year and are looking at returning to the competition, they have won twice.

Ghana is the only country from Africa to ever win the U-20 World Cup.
