Avram Grant loving "sweet" late victories
Ghana coach Avram Grant says he is loving his
team's late heroics at the AFCON in Equatorial
Guinea.

The Black Stars turned round a goal defect to
defeat a determined South Africa side 2-1 to
qualify for the quarter finals of the competition
with two late goals after a similar late win
against Algeria and Grant says the manner of the
victories is exciting.

"I am very happy but I am more happy with the way
in which we did it. I said to the players you do
not need to think about how you can make yourself
happy but how you can make people proud of you.
And as you have seen in all the games the players
are fighting. I must say thank you to all the
players.

The late victories are more sweet because we spoke
a lot about mentality and for them not to give up
is great and we all saw it. The first goal was
fantastic and the second one was a goal of
determination. We missed from a couple of chances
we could have scored through and at the end of the
day it is always good to be on the winning side."

After making changes to his midfield with the
introduction of Afriyie Acquah and Mubarak Wakaso
into his starting line up, and substitute's
appearance for striker Kwesi Appiah, Grant
revealed he is making use of all his squad
players.

"We want to use all the players we have. We are
playing games every four days so it is important
to use the players to change the games because
every game is different.
