  CALL MANUEL AGOGO TO HEAD THE TEAMS FITNESS.
  STRIKER 101: Wayne Gretzky racked up 61 NHL records by the time he retired, including the most goals scored, by doing one thing remarkably well:
  SKATING TO WHERE THE PUCK WAS GOING, not where it was. STRIKERS, WAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM GRETZKY?
  STRIKERS win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a trophies.
  SIMPLICITY AND SPEED WINS. TRUST ME...!!!
  BREAK AND PASS SOCCER, 2/3 TOUCHES PER PLAYER AT ALL TIMES. TRIANGLE OFFENSE/ATTACK.
  GOALIES: KEEP UR EYE ON THE BALL AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU CANT SEE IT, YOU CANT GRAB IT.
  STAY LIFTING METAL AND WORK ON YOUR REFLEXES AND REACTION TO THOSE REFLEXES.
  NEXT FRFIENDLY
  I WANT TO SEE ANNAN, AFRIYIE ACQUAH, YIADOM, ADUSEI, DAVE ADDY, LEE ADDY AND GOALIE ADAMS IN OUR NEXT FRIENDLY

  Black Stars just need to go out there and play their game and play hard. That is all we can ask for. My belief is if they just go out there and play hard and have fun, they will get four points out of the group stages. With a bit of luck, that will be enough.

  what do you mean by a must win? Is that part of the world cup? Please allow him to continue with the team building at this stage no matter what it takes. Do you know why those teams were picked in the first place? Certainly not because a win is needed.

  My Brother, you are wise man with these alloyed words:
  
  "The coach must also psyche his charges to draw strength from the power of ‘mind over matter’ and have self- belief that they can win the World Cup. “Those who win world cup don’t have three legs” This is a timely goad from Hon. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, Minister for Youth and Sports. He said this at a press briefing in Accra a week ago.
  
  Inferiority complex has long been the bane of the African game at the world cup, we therefore entreat Mr. Appiah to work on his personal confidence level and motivation and that of his captain, Asamoah Gyan because their level of confidence and determination will rub off the whole squad during the tournament."
