Laryea Kingston Likens Free Scoring Ghana U17's Style of Play to Manchester City

• Laryea Kingston has revealed that Ghana's U17 style of play is purely attacking football
• The former Ghana international has been assistant coach of the Black Starlets since the start of the year
• The Black Starlets are eyeing a return to the AFCON U17 Championship next year

Assistant coach of Ghana's U17 team, Laryea Kingston has compared his team's style of play to that of English champions Manchester City.

The former Ghana international and head coach of the Black Starlets, Karim Zito, led the U17 team to success at the UEFA Development tournament in Serbia last month.

In eight games, the Black Starlets have scored 31 goals, including six in the double-header friendlies against Saudi Arabia.

"One thing we should all know is that we are an attacking team. You can see that we played three friendlies before the tournament in Serbia and two games against Saudi Arabia, We've played eight matches and have scored 31 goals," he told reporters, as quoted by GHANASoccernet.

"The least goals we have scored is three in a game. I know people will say Ghana national team is a one goal project, now we are scoring goals and definitely opponents will get the chance to score but at the end of the game we make sure we win," he added.

"Of course, we are scoring we will have to concede. Man City score a lot of goals and concede, if you have the stats of Manchester City, they score a lot of goals and the goals they have conceded is almost half of what they have scored. So we should focus on the positives."

The Black Starlets failed to qualify for the U17 Cup of Nations, which ended few weeks ago in Algeria, with Senegal emerging champions, as reported by CAFonline.

However, the new technical team is hoping to secure qualification in the next edition.
