Ghana remain optimistic of playing in the quarter-finals of the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup as they chase qualification going into the last group games.<\/p>\n
The Black Princesses kicked off the tournament in Canada with a 1-0 victory over the host nation which handed them a big opportunity of reaching the last eight from Group A.<\/p>\n
However, a 3-0 defeat to Korea DPR has put the Black Princesses under pressure as their hopes of qualifying now rest on their result from the game against Finland in Moncton on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
No hope is lost especially for Ghana captain, Grace Adams, who believes they can return to their promising start.<\/p>\n
“We know that we’ve still got room for improvement and, above all, that we still have a chance of qualifying. So why would we be sad?” Adams said.<\/p>\n
“We’re trying to think about the next match, not the previous one. We have to look forwards, not backwards.”<\/p>\n
Adams’ strong mentality is expected to trickle down the entire squad as Ghana look to advance beyond the group phase for the first time at the U-20 Women’s World Cup after two failed attempts previously.<\/p>\n
“To motivate my team-mates, I’m going to tell them we have to put any doubts behind us and go out there with more determination than ever before,” the Ghana captain assured.<\/p>\n
“Whatever happens, we mustn’t let our heads drop,” she stated.<\/p>\n
