Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu will need some remedial amount of work on scouting and intensify preparations for their CAF Confederation Cup campaign.

The Tarkwa-based will face former African champions TP Mazembe, newly-crowned Tanzanian champions Young Africans and MO Bejaia.

It looks like a tough draw for the debutants and many doubt if they can progress from the Group stage.

But Konadu believes they can defy the odds if they invest in knowing more about their opponents and remain focused.

"I have seen their group and obviously it a tough group. Medeama SC have to do their homework really well and it the time they need to deploy some scouting officials to do the work ahead of time so they can see the exact system and formation to play against any team before they start the competition properly," Konadu told Asempa Sports.

"They shouldn’t joke with this group because these are high profile teams that will punish you if you fail to prepare very well.

"You will fail to progress to the next stage of the competition and so they need to intensify their homework very well including scouting and other video works and I know the coach will work very well on that."
