Black Stars assistant coach, Maxwell Konadu, has reiterated the need to keep focus, ahead of the crunch World Cup qualifier against the Egyptians on November 13, in Alexandria.

The Black Stars have come under intense scrutiny which has largely affected the output of the team.

Konadu believes that setting a camping base in Dubai, will help take away the unnecessary pressure that the team might be under.
He said: “We don’t need any distraction as at now. We want the team to be fully concentrated before we head for Alexandria.

“It is one of the main reasons management decided to send the team to Dubai to train, concentrate and rest very well before we go.

“This time around, I think 80 and 90 percent [of our work] will be tactical because we’ve seen the Egyptians.
“We have watched their tapes, we know their players – the injured ones and those who are fit. We know everything about them.
“We only have to go there and put one or two tactics in place and hope that it works on the day,” Konadu told Joy Fm.
