Angola Coach Pedro Gonçalves Vows to Beat Ghana in 2025 AFCON Qualifiers to Honor His Country
Angola's head coach, Pedro Gonçalves, has expressed his determination to lead the Palancas Negras to a victory over Ghana in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The match, scheduled for November 15 at the Estádio 11 de Novembro, is an important one for both teams, but for Gonçalves, it holds additional significance as a way to honor his country. With Angola already securing their spot in the tournament, the team aims to capitalize on their good form and deliver a strong performance against Ghana, having previously beaten them 1-0 in the group stage opener at Baba Yara Stadium.
Although Gonçalves respects Ghana's talented squad, which includes players from top European and Portuguese clubs, he believes that the Black Stars are currently going through a challenging period. While acknowledging the efforts of Ghana’s coach Otto Addo, he noted that the team has not been in their best form recently. Gonçalves is focused on exploiting Ghana's struggles to guide Angola to another win. He believes in his team’s abilities, emphasizing that Angola approaches every match with the mindset to honor their country and enjoy the competition. He also stated that the team would remain brave on the field as they aim to defeat one of Africa’s best teams.
Following their match against Ghana, Angola will complete their Group F fixtures with a match against Sudan on November 18, which will be held in Togo. Gonçalves’ primary focus is to maintain the team's positive momentum and ensure they finish their qualifiers strongly, heading into the AFCON with confidence. His commitment to leading Angola with pride and determination is clear as he aims to make a statement in these crucial AFCON qualifiers.
