Dutch coach, Arie Schans, has urged African teams to focus on team-building instead of putting stars together to play without the necessary team spirit in most cases.
He says there is a vast difference between having all the stars and building a team, and that until the cord of building a team is found African teams would assemble all the world’s acclaimed stars but would achieve little.
He observed that there were many talents and wonderful players abounding in Africa, but there was the need to focus on building teams that could match any team in the world and raise the standards beyond what the world was witnessing in the ongoing Ghana 2008 tournament.
“I can assure you that Africa can play better than what we are witnessing today, and as a coach my focus is first on having a good team with the help of the players.”
Guinea’s coach, Robert Nouzaret, revealed that his team was much prepared for the next stage of the competition knowing well what the other teams were made of.
“We will improve upon our play and make sure that we do not leave anything to chance. We are playing with our eyes set on the prize and the joy it will bring to the people who are looking forward to that moment of joy,” he said.
“For the next match we are going for a win as we have adopted various game plans that we hope will give us the needed victory,” he added.
