Ghana coach Akonnor cautioned about copying 1978 Afcon style

Veteran Ghanaian coach JE Sarpong has advised Black Stars boss CK Akonnor to build his team according to the strength of his players.

Sarpong was reacting to a recent revelation by Akonnor, who intends to "slightly modify" the style of Ghana's 1978 Africa Cup of Nations-winning side for the current set-up to help win the tournament once more.

Akonnor assumed duty as new Black Stars boss in January, replacing James Kwasi Appiah.
