Ghana forward Richmond Boakye Yiadom believes strikers of the Black Stars will hit the ground running when they face the panthers of Gabon in a must win game on Friday at the Ahmadou Ahijdou Stadium.

The Beiter Jerusalem forward was speaking to the media in Cameroon on Thursday ahead of Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations Group C game against Gabon.

Ghana lost its opening game against Morocco on Monday and with the strikers and the whole team failing to shine in a timid display.

"I think there are a lot of players in front. Sometimes in football, things don’t go as expected. We have Jordan, Benjamin and I and as I said the first game didn’t go well."

"We couldn’t get the chances to utilize them but I think against Gabon, something good will come out and I think we are going to score.

As a striker I believe when the first chance is missed, you need to focus on the second chance and we are here to score a lot of goals and I believe tomorrow we will win the game, the striker will make an impact for everybody to see."

Boakye Yiadom who made his Ghana debut in August 2012, has scored six times in 14 International appearances and is one of the strikers available for Milovan Rajevac in this year’s tournament despite making a cameo appearance in the defeat to Morocco on Monday.
