Bashir Hayford Explain AshGold Approach Against Bejaia

Ashanti Gold head coach Bashiru Hayford has assured the club fans and Ghanaians that he has mapped out strategies to beat MO Bejaia on Sunday.

The Miners will host the Algerian side at the Obuasi Len Clay stadium in the first round of the preliminary stages of the CAF Champions League.

There have been worries for the club’s unimpressive display in pre-season, leading to chief executive officer, Cudjoe Fianoo saying that the team is far from ready for the competition.

But Bashir Hayford, having watched the Algerian side, believes AshGold stand a chance of winning the fixture on Sunday.

“I have had the benefit to watch videos of their games and I realised most of their goals were scored from headers. They operate most often from the wings and take advantage of their height to score from headers,” optimistic Bashir Hayford told Atinka FM.

“They are very strong, so our defenders also need to match them in the air and also be a bit physical.

“At the same time any time we attack them by using air balls, they will clear such balls and they won’t cause any threat upfront, so we will put them down and in situations whereby they get all the air balls from the 18-yard box, we would have to shoot from behind to catch them unaware.” He said.

MO Bejaia arrived in Accra today (February 12) and will fly to Kumasi before travelling to Obuasi train at the Obuasi Len Clay stadium.
