Black Queens: Goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan hails impact of Kim Lars Bjorkegren

Black Queens goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan has praised the impact of new head coach, Kim Lars Bjorkegren.

The 43-year-old Swedish gaffer replaced Nora Hauptle on a two-year deal.

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana FA website, Konlan highlighted the positive changes the team has experienced since the Swedish coach's arrival, particularly in training sessions and tactical preparations.

“The training sessions have been great, and we've seen positive changes compared to our previous coach. The new systems and tactics are exciting, and we're enjoying the challenge. We're looking forward to implementing these new strategies in the game against Morocco,” she stated.

The Black Queens will take on Morocco's Atlas Lioness in a friendly game later today at the Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca with kick-off scheduled at 17:00 GMT.

Ahead of the game, Konlan also called on Ghanaians to remain patient and back the team as they aim to regain their dominance in women’s football.

“We urge our fans to remain calm and supportive. We know they've been waiting for a win, and we're working hard to make that happen. We promise to make them proud again soon, starting with a strong performance against Morocco,” she assured.

The upcoming friendly against Morocco will serve as a key test for the team as they prepare for the continental showdown.

The Queens will later play AS FAR Rabat three days later.
