Avram Grant defends 3-5-2 system
Ghana Coach Avram Grant has defended his decision
to employ the 3-5-2 system in the Black Stars’
2-1 defeat against Senegal at the 2015 Africa Cup
of Nations, stating that it is a good formation
that must be strengthened.

The former Chelsea Boss’ decision to use a
formation with a defensive trio with two wingbacks
has been criticized by some Ghanaian tacticians
who feel the Black Stars lost to the Teranga Lions
due to their unfamiliarity with the new system.

After facing a difficulty in adjusting to Avram
Grant’s formation, the Black Stars must prepare
to adapt to variations of the 3-5-2 as the
continental tournament progresses, according to
the Israeli trainer.

“For the moment, it’s a good system for us but
we will not play only this system. Senegal started
against us with this formation so you need to be
intelligent and you need to strengthen your
system,” Grant told reporters in a post match
interview.

The four-time African champions are in desperate
need of victories over Algeria and South Africa in
their final group games to improve their chances
of advancing to the quarter final stage.
