Sellas Tetteh, head coach of Ghana's U-17 team, Black Starlets is optimistic about the team's progress to the next stage despite Thursday's loss to Germany.
The Starlets were beaten 3-2 by their German counterparts in the second match of their Group F clash at the Cheonan Sports Complex, South Korea.
GNA Sports culled a post-match interview of the Black Stars deputy trainer from the website of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) as he expressed disappointment at the result but praised his players for the wonderful performance in the second half of the game.
The Starlets scored two quick goals in the second half after a disastrous first half, which saw them conceding three goals within a spate of 27 minutes.
"Of course we are disappointed. In the second half, we showed the form we were aiming for in the first half."
The Liberty Professionals coach was the least enthused about the tactical abilities of his team in the first half, saying "We definitely need to talk about that change for the future."
Coach Tetteh has however said he is setting his sights on victory in the ultimate group game against South American side, Colombia who raced to the top spot after a 3-0 thrashing of Trinidad and Tobago later on Thursday.
"If we get a second win, we will definitely reach the round of 16," assured the soft-spoken trainer who is hoping to be third time lucky after twice failing in various capacities as head coach and deputy.
Burly striker Sadick Adams expressed similar sentiments with his trainer and promised to make amends in the last game.
"We have learned a lot from this match and really need to win our last game," said Adams who grabbed the Starlets second goal in the 52nd minute.
The Starlets, two-time winners of the biennial championship play Colombia on Sunday in their last group game.
