After a motivating 4-1 triumph against the Central African Republic last Thursday, Madagascar are now shifting focus to their next serious test - a battle against Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
With preparation ongoing ahead of the Monday encounter at the Al Hoceima Stadium in Morocco, head coach Corentin Martins is well aware of what he has in store for him.
Aware of the magnitude of the task, Martins and his team are making the most of the limited time they have.
"We are going to train as best as we can and then try to play the best game possible," he stated, affirming their resolve to train regardless of the limited time frame.
The Barea will also have to factor in recovery after their previous game, ensuring the players are physically and mentally prepared before facing Ghana.
Martins concedes the quality of their opponents but is optimistic about his team.
"We will face a very good Ghana team, but we will play to our players and our strengths," he added.
Madagascar will be relying on tactical discipline, teamwork, and their own brand of play to overcome the Black Stars.
With dedication and the right strategy, they will be looking to surprise people and make a huge impact in this crucial match.
