Akwa wants a partner

Akwa wants a partner

BIELEFELD – Angola’s team captain Akwa has called for a second striker to help him improve their potency in attack after they fell 1-0 in their World Cup Group D opener to Portugal.

Angola are meeting Mexico in their second match of the tournament today. Coach Luis Oliveira Goncalves plumped for a lone striker for Sunday’s match against Portugal, which Angola lost 1-0, abandoning the 4-4-2 formation which let them down badly during the African Nations Cup in January.”I think the coach will use the same tactic but for me it is better with two strikers because I feel I have more support,” Akwa told Reuters by telephone from the team’s training camp in Celle on Monday.The southwest Africans have five forwards and several attacking midfielders in their 23-man squad and Akwa was not fussy who could partner him in the Angolan charge.”We have Mantorras, Flavio, Andre Titi Buengo, Love, Mateus.I don’t care who it is,” he said.- Nampa-AFPCoach Luis Oliveira Goncalves plumped for a lone striker for Sunday’s match against Portugal, which Angola lost 1-0, abandoning the 4-4-2 formation which let them down badly during the African Nations Cup in January.”I think the coach will use the same tactic but for me it is better with two strikers because I feel I have more support,” Akwa told Reuters by telephone from the team’s training camp in Celle on Monday.The southwest Africans have five forwards and several attacking midfielders in their 23-man squad and Akwa was not fussy who could partner him in the Angolan charge.”We have Mantorras, Flavio, Andre Titi Buengo, Love, Mateus.I don’t care who it is,” he said.- Nampa-AFP
