THE coach of the Ghana Black Satellites, Orlando Wellington has told Goal.com he is aware of the pressure that comes with it to lead the defending champion to the upcoming African U-20 Championship in Libya.
“It’s not going to be easy but we’re ready for it. We have been there before and we know how it feels to get to the top and we’re ready to repeat history,” he said.
Ghana is in Group B described as the ‘Group of Death’ that comprise Nigeria, Cameroun, and Gambia while host Libya has been paired in Group A alongside Mali, Egypt and Lesotho.
Wellington noted he is aware of the capabilities of his opponents but the challenge spurs his side on to go for laurels.
“We’re in a tough group but with deter-mi-nation we can scale over them. I have confidence in my boys and they are ready for the task,” he assured.
The semi-finalists will represent the continent at the FIFA U-20 World Cup slated for Colombia later in the year.
