Fred Agbenyo, a member of the Communications team of the National Democratic Congress, has commended the Black Stars for showing resilience and perseverence in the match against Niger on Monday. The Black Stars clinched a 3-0 victory over their Nigerien opponent. He lauded the players for again lifting the flag of the nation high and putting up a good performance in the on-going African Cup of Nations. He advised Ghanaians to loosen their tight gloves on the players and the technical bench since to him, until the tourney is ended, no team can be cocksure about the outcome of each game. "For anybody to use an opening match to draw conclusion on the team and the technical team and the rest, I think it was most unfortunate." Fred Agbenyo said. He alluded to the stars' performance in the AFCON 2012 in Angola, saying though the players kicked off poorly, they could pull a surprise in the tournament. He was optimistic Ghana will take the trophy home in the AFCON 2013. He expressed no doubts about the performance of the players stressing that he �will not be surprised at all that on the final day, they (Black Stars) will bring the cup to Ghana�.
