Ghana women's soccer coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren feels happy about his team's recent scoring success. The Black Queens defeated Malawi 3-1 last Saturday before beating Benin 4-2 on Wednesday. These wins help prepare the squad for the upcoming Women's Africa Cup of Nations tournament. The Swedish coach sees major improvements in how his players attack opposing teams. His squad has found the net seven times across both preparation matches.
Bjorkegren noticed his team faced some difficulties during the first half against Benin. The players sent too many passes through the air rather than keeping the ball on the ground. This style of play gave their opponents better chances to compete. The Black Queens performed much better after changing their approach and focusing on ground passes. They dominated the match once they started playing their preferred style of soccer.
Ghana will face Nigeria in their final warm-up game this Saturday. The team wants to build confidence before traveling to Morocco for the main tournament. The competition runs from July 5 through July 26 across multiple Moroccan cities. Ghana finds itself placed in Group C alongside defending champions South Africa. Mali and Tanzania complete their group for the opening round of matches.
