"My confidence in Gyan, Agogo unharmed" - Le Roy

Accra, Jan. 25, GNA - Claude Le Roy's confidence in the striking duo of Asamoah Gyan and Junior Agogo remains unharmed despite their off colour play against Namibia on Thursday.

"My confidence in Gyan and Agogo is as strong as it was minutes before the game started and nothing will change that now," he said at a press conference held less than 24 hours after the encounter. Agogo's 40th minute strike gifted the Black Stars a lone goal victory with Gyan leading the pack in the comedy of errors in front of goal throughout the game.

"The only problem with the strikers now is that of confidence and I know they will soon overcome that."

Accusing fingers have been pointed especially at the Udinese striker, Gyan who in the course of the game, opted to shoot wide instead of tapping the ball into the net when the Namibian goalkeeper Mbaha Attiel was already committed in the six-yard box.

Le Roy's decision to stick with the pair in the game with Morocco is one born out of his desire to prove to all that the players are the best Ghana has to feature for the National Team A.

"These two are the best strikers we have around and I believe in their quality."

The French Trainer said Ghana would throw everything into Monday's game with the North African's, which outcome could undo the Black Stars chances to the quarter final stage of the championship. The 40th minute goal was Agogo's second at home. Gyan on the other hand has scored only two of out of his 16 goals for Ghana at home in his 26 outings.
