CHAN 2022: ‘My boys were wearing good boots against Madagascar’ – Annor Walker addresses constant “slipping” in defeat

Black Galaxies head coach Annor Walker has debunked the notion players on his team weren’t kitted with the right boots in the loss to Madagascar.

Ghana lost 1-2 to the island nation in Group C of the 2022 African Nations Championship (CHAN) taking place in Constantine, Algeria.

Madagascar took a 2-0 lead in a first half that had Ghanaian players slip several times on the surface that got watered just before kickoff.

However, Malagasy players looked comfortable and were more stable playing on the surface in leading observers to question the quality of the Ghanaian players’ boots.

“My boys are wearing good boots; each and everyone has three boots at hand” he said and went to add the weather didn’t play a part in the loss stating, “the weather was better for me than when we came… so I see it (yesterday’s game) like normal weather.”

Ghana takes on Sudan in the next game on Thursday, at 20:00 GMT in a must win game for the Black Galaxies.
