2023 Afcon: Alan Kyeremanten calls patience for Black Stars after Cape Verde upset
2024 Presidential Aspirant, Alan Kyeremanten, has implored Ghanaian football-loving fans to be patient with the Black Stars following the upset in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Ghana in their Group B opener suffered a 2-1 defeat to Cape Verde at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan on Sunday night.
Following the defeat, the founder of the Movement for Change believes the Black Stars will come good in the tournament in their subsequent games.
“In spite of the fact that we are all dispirited by what has happened, I want us to have a sense of hope, particularly going into the second match,” Mr Kyeremanten said.
“Historically, we have a good relationship with Egypt for a number of reasons and we all know Egypt is a major powerhouse in African football and Ghana is [too].
“We are going into a contest that goes just beyond football. I want us to have a sense of great expectation and hope that whatever has occurred [vs Cape Verde] will be reversed in our match with Egypt with an emphatic victory.”
Ghana, who sit at the bottom of their group will face Egypt in their next game on January 18 looking to bounce back from the loss.
