Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, has vented out his frustration over Ghana’s recent poor performances to the Black Stars players, saying they lacked desire and passion in their draw against Niger.
The GFA president was not mincing words in a pep talk with the team, where he questioned the team’s performance.
He expressed disappointment in the team for not being able to beat a team like Niger.
“A few weeks ago, we played against Niger, how did you guys feel when you went back home to your bases having drawn against Niger. Were you happy?
“Four, five of the players who played in the squad, sorry, cannot play in my club, that’s the truth,” Okraku pointed out.
He went on to question the attitude and commitment levels of some of the players.
The team’s demeanor on the day, according to him, was disappointing and unacceptable to the over 30 million Ghanaians.
“We saw a Black Stars team without energy, without passion, without the desire to play. It is not possible like this. The minimum Ghana expects is a team of boys or men who will show passion and desire to play for our country.
“Not when you are dribbled and you will be seen walking on the pitch, and the ball is heading towards your net. That is impossible. I told the coach it’s either you guys decide to play for the 30 million plus people or decide you will not play,” he furiously added.
