Posted On Wednesday, 27th February 2013
Sulley Muntari and Kevin Prince Boateng needed in Ghana squad for Sudan qualifier
Veteran coach Emmanuel Kwesi Afranie believes the inclusion of Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng will add the needed impetus to proper the country to qualify to the 2014 World Cup.
Muntari is set to return to the squad for the crucial qualifier against Sudan while Boateng is far away from returning to the national fold after retiring prematurely from the international stage.
The duo have combined effectively for AC Milan lately and played an important part as the Italians recorded a 2-0 win over Barcelona in the Uefa Champions League last week.
The former Ghana coach is optimistic the inclusion of the duo will enhance the prospect of the team in qualifying to the world showpiece.
“One player can make a difference! And I think that player is Sulley Muntari, because he is the only player who can give hot shots, at the moment most of our players want to score in the 18 yard box,” Muntari said
‘But the modern system of defense hardly gives you that time and space.
“So I think we would brighten our chances of qualifying to the World Cup in Brazil if we can get Sulley Muntari and Kevin Prince Boateng.
The decision of Andre and Jordan Ayew to retire temporarily from the national team is already raising anxiety among soccer fans whether they country has enough arsenals to qualify for a third successive world cup.

How stupid can we get???People actually believe our performance at last year’s Cup of Nation is better than this year’s performance???when we struggled to beat the likes Botswana and even found it harder to beat both Guinea and Mali,We scrap through the quarters,thanks to a howler from the Tunisian goalkeeper and lost to Zambia in semi.So lets get this right,Apparently with a better team and a better coach last year,we came fourth and with our worse ever team and worse coach,we still came fourth,so which is the better team and who is the better coach here????Stupid and idiotic arm chair coaches.We change the coach now and bring who??your fathers’???Nonsense.
..and before any idiot reply,you better arm yourself with reasonable thought.
foolish asslicking viper. no one will reply your senseless argument
Comparatively, I think, we placed fourth at both tournaments which puts them on the same level. However, the question is have we improved or done any better from the 2012 AFCON? The answer is NO. I believe that should be the yardstick.
Truth is, in 2012, we struggled but do we have to continue struggling in 2013?
On top of it all, comparatively we played better football with clear formation, better positioning on the field of play in 2012. And I know the general consensus was to surpass 2012, but what did we witness, abysmal display of football from day one to the last day
Oh viper why would you say such nonsense and expect reply.
Lets be realistic and stop the unnecessary attacking comments. Why are you at war with somebody?
Lol. you are a coward.
..and which part of my comment,don’t you understand???
Oh Coach Hene am ashamed in regards to your comments.
Who should bring Muntari and KPB back. Lol
When you were coaching the 2001 under 20 squad which you sent to the finals at the tourney in Argentina did you ever listen to anyone? You drop Charles Taylor, Stephen Oduro, Ishmael Addo etc and today you’re asking someone to call who??
Massa give us a break and let Kwesi Appiah do his job since you were around before he was handed the job.
U are all fools
the only fool I see here is you..
indeed we need Kelvin and Sulley in the black starts team….GFA should do anything within their power to get them back before the world cup..
