WE HAVE TO WORK ON GOAL SCORING-TOM STRAND

Medeama coach Tom Strand has said he is now thinking of  fixing his team’s attacking proficiency after the team’s qualification to the 1/8th round of the Orange CAF Confederation Cup.

The Ghanaian FA Cuo holders progressed to the next round following a 2-0 win at home against Libyan side Al Ittihad at the Essipong Stadium on Sunday.

        

According to CAFOnline.com,Strand said that “it is a fantastic feeling to have qualified. Obviously, we need to work on our goal scoring rate. The team created a lot of chances. We were unlucky that we could not score more goals, and that is something we need to work on. Apart from that, I’m proud of the players and the performance today.

       

“I think goal scoring is something that the whole of Ghana have issue with. We have to be effective in front of goal to be able to do well in such competitions, especially when we can create that many chances.”

     

Abass Mohammed’s two first half goals were enough to hand Medeama qualification on a 2-1 aggregate following 1-0 defeat by the Libyans in the first tie played in Tunisia.

      

Strand added “It is a fantastic victory. I think we played fantastic football and we are better than the opponent and that makes me happy”.

     

Medeama remains Ghana’s only club still involved in this year’s CAF Inter Club competitions following the ouster of AshantiGold from the Orange CAF Champions League.
