Laryea Kingston explains why Black Starlets concede despite scoring more goals

Laryea Kingston, the Assistant Head Coach of the Ghana U17 national team, has responded to criticism regarding the team’s vulnerable defense.

While acknowledging the concerns raised by Ghanaians, the deputy coach of the Black Starlets has assured that there is no need to worry.

Kingston explained that the team has been constructed in a manner that emphasizes attacking play, with the aim of outscoring their opponents.

“I fully accept the criticisms and concerns from the public. However, we need to understand our style of play. We are an attacking team. In our eight matches, we have scored 31 goals, with the lowest being three goals,” Kingston stated.

“People used to say that Ghana’s U17 team was a one-goal project, but now we are scoring goals. Naturally, our opponents will also have opportunities to score. Nevertheless, our focus is on securing victories and staying ahead of our opponents,” he added.

The Ghana U17 team impressed at the UEFA Development Tournament last month, defeating Spain, Serbia, and Switzerland in the process.
