Ghana
coach Avram Grant says he is loving his team's late heroics at the AFCON in
Equatorial Guinea.
The Black
Stars turned round a goal defect to defeat a determined South Africa side 2-1
to qualify for the quarter finals of the competition with two late goals
after a similar late win against Algeria and Grant says the manner of the
victories is exciting.
"I
am very happy but I am more happy with the way in which we did it. I said to
the players you do not need to think about how you can make yourself
happy but how you can make people proud of you. And as you have seen in all the
games the players are fighting. I must say thank you to all the players.
The late
victories are more sweet because we spoke a lot about mentality and for them
not to give up is great and we all saw it. The first goal was fantastic
and the second one was a goal of determination. We missed from a couple of
chances we could have scored through and at the end of the day it is always
good to be on the winning side."
After
making changes to his midfield with the introduction of Afriyie Acquah and
Mubarak Wakaso into his starting line up, and substitute's appearance for
striker Kwesi Appiah, Grant revealed he is making use of all his squad
players.
"We
want to use all the players we have. We are playing games every four days so it
is important to use the players to change the games because every game is
different.
