His record now reads seven games, three wins, three defeats and a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the defeat, Akonnor is satisfied with the performance of his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn my opinion, we didn\u2019t look bad at all, first of all, it was important for me to see how disciplined we could play, the team spirit, work ethics, we showed great understanding of how to play,\u201d Akonnor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObviously we played against an opponent who have been very, very good in previous matches and like I said earlier on they have not lost a match since the 2019 AFCON.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe made things very, very difficult for them especially in the first half and in the second half, we opened up and attacked. If you look at the way we played the negative part is that we lost so there have been a lot of positives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have some few guys to join us, if we get all of them and work like this, I think going forward we are very hopeful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akonnor has now shifted his focus to Black Stars\u2019 next game&nbsp;against Ivory Coast on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we will have a meeting to discuss the match. What we did right and what went wrong and we look forward to the Ivory Coast match and going to that game, we have to do video analysis and see how best we can play and of course, outsmart them and win the match. We need to win and that is what we are concerned about,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: 3<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/news\/\">news<\/a>.com|Ghana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana coach Charles Akonnor has taken the positives from their 1-0 defeat to Morocco in Tuesday\u2019s international match.
