The Palancas Negras of Argentina will train at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Wednesday at 4 p.m. after arriving in Ghana with a 75-man delegation late on Tuesday evening.
Head coach of Angola, Pedro Gonçalves, arrived in Kumasi with twenty-four players at hand to face Otto Addo’s Ghana.
Neblú, Ricardo Baptista, and António Dominique (goalkeepers), Bastos Quissanga, Kialonda Gaspar, Jonathan Buatu, Sandro Cruz, Pedro Bondo, Núrio Fortuna, David Carmo, Jordi Gaspar, and Clinton Mata (defenders), Maestro, Fredy Ribeiro, Estrela, Show, Keliano, and Randy N’teka (midfielders), Zine Salvador, Zito Luvumbo, Mabululu, Milson, Gelson Dala, and Depú (forwards) make up the twenty-four players.
Pedro Gonçalves, though lamented the short training period, has been working on quick offensive transitions, man marking, and finishing with his side, meaning they would contain the Ghanaians in their half only to hit them with a counter-attack in a 4-3-3 formation to exploit spaces behind the attacking full-backs.
The Angolans in each of their interviews ahead of the crunch clash in Kumasi on Thursday have all expressed extreme confidence in stunning the Black Stars.
Probable Angola XI: Neblu (GK), Bastos Quissanga (RB), David Como (CB), Nurio Fortuna (CB), Clinton Mata (LB), Show (CM), Fredy (CAM), N’teka (CM), Gelson Dala (RW), Zito Luvumbo (CF), Mabululu (LW).
