Warri (Nigeria) - Ghana's Black Queens have so far emerged as the strongest team at the ongoing Africa Women Cup of Nations in Warri, Nigeria, but the players are attributing the team's success to head coach, Oko Aryee and his assistant Mike Akpe.
The Queens who on Tuesday used a single stone to kill two birds- booking a ticket for the grand final as well as a place in the next edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup slated for China next year- believe the two coaches deserve all the praise.
Skipper Alberta Sackey, told the GNA Sports that the best thing that ever happened to the team was the presence of the two coaches. "They took us through all the required drill to prepare us for the battle ahead, I'm not surprise that we have gotten to this stage", she said. The Queens had to rely on an extra time goal by Bayor to register a 3-2 win over the Indomitable Lioness of Cameroon.
While the Ghanaian fans went home jubilating, the Nigerians who thronged the stadium were disappointed after the match for, according to many of them, they would have wished that Nigeria play Cameroon in the final. The Super Falcons are billed to play South Africa in the second semi-final match on Wednesday at Oghara.
