Following Ghana’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Cape Verde in their opening group B game at the stade Felix Houphouët-Boigny, defender Alexander Djiku is rallying his teammates to adopt a more aggressive approach. The defeat has placed Ghana at the bottom of the group with no points, intensifying the importance of the remaining matches against Egypt and Mozambique.

Despite the painful loss, Djiku, who delivered a world-class performance against Cape Verde, expressed disappointment but remained optimistic about the team’s potential to secure victory in the upcoming games. In a post-match interview, he emphasized the need for the Black Stars to work harder and create more scoring opportunities to overcome the challenges posed by Egypt.

“It’s so difficult, but we need to do more,” Djiku remarked, highlighting the team’s determination to bounce back and secure positive results in the crucial group stage encounters. The call for increased aggression reflects the urgency felt within the Ghanaian camp to revive their AFCON campaign and progress to the knockout stages.
