U-17 Women's World Cup: We will intensify our approach against Argentina - Ghana coach Joe Nana Adarkwa

Black Maidens coach Joe Nana Adarkwa says Ghana will adopt a more aggressive approach when they face Argentina in the Round of 16 of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco.

Ghana take on the South American side on Wednesday, with a place in the quarter-finals at stake.

The Black Maidens recovered from a 3-0 defeat by Norway in their opening Group C match to draw 3-3 with Brazil before beating Canada 2-0 to finish top of the group.

Argentina, meanwhile, also progressed to the knockout stage as group winners after an unbeaten run.

Ahead of the encounter, Nana Adarkwa told FIFA Media that Ghana would build on their performance against Brazil and increase the intensity of their play against Argentina.

"I can see that Argentinians play like Brazilians," he said.

"We are going to intensify the approach we took against Brazil and push harder. South American teams play like Ghanaians; we always get the ball down and play."

The Ghana coach acknowledged the importance of adopting the right mentality in the knockout stage, where a single defeat would end their campaign.

"Because this is the knockout phase, when they score, you have to pack everything and go back home," he added.

"So we are going to approach this match in a different way, with a different mentality, everything. We are going to push, push, push until the end of the game."

The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 GMT at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, with Ghana hoping to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
