At the Alisa Hotel on Thursday midmorning, Black Stars gathered to enjoy their breakfast. The president of Ghana Football Association, Kurt Simon Okraku, paid them a normal visit. The president talked for more than five minutes questioning the boys’ desire, passion and commitment.
“Let me roll the time back, few weeks ago, we played against Niger, how did you guys feel when you went back home to your bases?”
“Having drawn against Niger, how did you feel? Are we happy? Were you happy? Niger! Come on guys. You drew 1-1 against Niger. You drew 1-1 against Niger, that was the scoreline, no joke! 1-1 against Niger?”,
“4 or 5 of the players that played for Niger, sorry, cannot play in my club. That’s the truth but Ghana played 1-1 against Niger”,
“What did we see? We saw a Black Stars team without energy, passion, without the desire to play. It is not possible like this”.
“The minimum i expect, the minimum Ghana expects is a team of boys or men who will show passion to play for Ghana”
Kurt Okraku was very angry with the performance the Black Stars put up when they faced Angola and Niger in matchday 1 and 2 of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.
Ghana lost 1-0 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium against the Palancas Negras of Angola. It was the first defeat in Kumasi in 24 years for Ghana. The Black Stars drew 1-1 v Niger in Berkane much to the disappointment of Ghanaians in the second game.
Time for the Black Stars to show passion, commitment and full energy ahead of the Sudan clash on Thursday.
