Coach of the Black Galaxies, Annor Walker, has reaffirmed that the squad does not care about its prior accomplishments and is instead focused on winning the 2022 African Nations Championship [CHAN] in Algeria.
Ghana is participating in the competition again after making it to the finals twice in the 2009 and 2014 tournaments, respectively.
The Galaxies were placed in Group C with Madagascar, Sudan, and Morocco.
Walker responded that he does not want to put pressure on his players by reminding them of previous results, but instead wants his team to concentrate on performing well and making Ghana proud. Walker was asked if he believes this current squad can win the trophy that has eluded them at the final hurdle on two occasions.
“We have seen what the previous squads have done, and it is truly remarkable. However, the past is behind us, and we are looking forward to what is here in front of us, which we have control over. We are looking forward to getting to the finals and yes lifting the cup,” the veteran trainer said.
“With that said, we are not thinking of the past, but we are thinking of the present and what is ahead of us,” said Walker.
At the Chahid Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine, the Black Galaxies will begin their season on Sunday against Madagascar, a newcomer.
The game has been scheduled to kick off at 19:00GMT.
