Former Ghana international Mohammed Gargo is absolutely confident Ghana will win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon.
The Black Stars heads into the tournament with the hope of ending the 40-year trophy drought on the continent after last winning it in 1982.
The four-time African Champions have come close to winning the title, reaching the finals three times and making the semi-final on several occasions.
In an interview with Koforidua-based Bryt FM, Gargo, now a coach indicated Ghana can win the title in Cameroon considering call ups made by the Serbian coach, Milovan Rajevac.
Asked if Ghana win the trophy, he said, “Of course, as I said, names do not play football again, it is based on individual efforts at the moment. The coach has been there before so he knows what to do”
“Nobody can detect for a white coach so I believe he has selected the players who can do the job for the nation,” he said.
Black Stars will open camp in Doha, Qatar this week.
They will play three friendly matches while in Qatar. The Ghana Football Association has already concluded talks with Algeria while engagements are ongoing for two additional matches.
Black Stars will depart Doha for Yaoundé on Friday, January 7, three days before their opening match against Morocco.
After Morocco, Rajevac’s side will take on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Gabon and then wrap up their group stage campaign against debutants Comoros.
