Ex Ghana captain Stephen Appiah
Stephen Appiah says he is seriously considering a return to the national team, the ex- Ghana captain has exclusively told GHANAsoccernet.com.
This comes just under a year of announcing his international retirement.
The 30-year-old midfielder however stressed it is not going to be a decision bourne out of desperation since the Black Stars have more than enough quality to achieve even more for the nation.
“I am retired but you let’s wait to see what happens in future,” Appiah told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“If you look at the performance of the young ones such as Kwadwo Asamoah, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Asamoah Gyan and Dede Ayew you know I am not being missed much.”
The ex Ghana captain who announced his international retirement after leading Ghana to its second ever World Cup last year in South Africa.
Appiah says he is considering the option due to the flogging plea of the masses.
Just last week, administrator Isaac Tetteh ‘ TT Brothers’ made a public plea for the midfielder to return.

capito we all appreciate what u have done for ghana in soccer but now,its time to move on so that the younger ones will have their chance.
we thank u for ur achievements in ghana soccer.its now time for u to concerntrate on ur club career.
Fully agree on that. His physical condition could become a problem again and having a half-fit player in the national squad instead of a (younger) fit player wouldn’t be reasonable.
Masa! Masa! go get some coaching lessons, mak we tink betta tot.
“Don’t mak sily U-turn on a mOtOwAy _ kasa kua”
YOU ARE WELCOME!!! WE LOVE YOU
Great nuz Tonardo. We miss u.
Come back quickly. We miss u dearly
bro we miss u capito
pls the same mouths that hailed you are the same mouths that well crusify you. dont look back you’ve done enough. thank you
I thnk we miss his leadership qualities alot, bt d new guys hav held d fort very well.Maybe we shld let him play his last nation’s cup nxt yr.
I agree with u,miki.This will be a good bye sort of tournament for him.I think this should be considered by Appiah, the GFA and the Black Stars management team.It will be very good for the nation’s soccer.
U will forever be remain in many hearts of ghanaian soccer funs especially the real once who kno all soccer is about… sometime experince count on the pitch but your form is the problem get it back and that is it…
HAAAA AS3M B3BA DABI
Errrh Kwaa Appiah, please don’t even dare come back. If you want us to force you to retire, we will just like the Germans did to Michael Ballack. “Enimguase nfata okan ni ba”
Don’t come back nd disgrace urself, u hv done ur part its ok.
I say thanks, enough playing and we appreciate that. I think, now, you can contribute better by getting official coaching training and coming back to coach the national team. Right now we have a lot of good midfield players.
PS:
If you were a striker, then I’d say hell heah, come back because our attack is very weak.
Africa players, they never want to leave with a good note, he will just come back and embarrass him self then he will quite. Bad idea, don’t come back. We dont need again.
Senior papa we know you can do better but you just give the kids chance to showcase themma swegon
we know you can do the better and all the young playing know u are the better playing in the world …we love u so much we need u back
ALL THOSE MAKING NOISE ABOUT DISGRACING HIMSELF AND HE SHOULD NOT COME BACK DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL INFACT YOU GUYS HAVE HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN ON THE FIELD OR KICK A FOOTBALL ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. U SIT AT HOME BY YOUR DSTV AND MAKE SILLY COMMENTS ABOUT PLAYERS WHO WORK THEIR ASS OUT TO HELP THIS DEAR NATION. ALL YOU DO IS COMMENT BUT NONE OF U CAN EVEN PLAY FOR 5 MINUTES…………..DO YOU WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE TEAM, U ARE SITTING THERE TALKING ABOUT YOUNGER PLAYERS. HAVE YOU WATCHED PAUL SCHOLES PLAY OR ZIDANE. “NONSENCE” DID YOU GUYS WATCH STEPAPP PLAY IN ESSIENS AFRICA 11 VRS WORLD GAME THAT IS WHAT A REAL PLAYER IS. THIS IS THE SAME THINGS STUPID GHANAIAN MOUTHS ARE TRYING TO DO TO JOHN PANSTIL. LOOK STEPHEN COME AND DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE……WE NEED YOU IN THE TEAM TILL YOU DECIDE ITS ENOUGH……….GOD BLESS YOU IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVOURS.LOVE YOU MAN
pls is okay we appreciate ur good work,but thanks dont come back plsssssssssssss.
At least Stephen must forgive all of us and heed to the pleading of the nation.Some of us believe we need to retire him well with a testimonial match. He is the best captain we have had in the senior national team for a long time.
If he can play for 10 -15 minutes, that would be fine.Just give him some substitution in the last 10 minutes. I am sure he can read the game. He still got the accurate passes and can also give some long range shoots. Let us give him the chance to come back for the last time to make amends for the penalty kick which he should have taken during the world cup which Asamoah Gyan fluffed. Thanks people
capito pls come back quickly
yes tonaado u hav to return to de national team bcos we relly need ur help to colify fo de nesxt world cup,tonaado i want to say dis to u personally u are de best captain ghana have ever had so please come back,and if no body needs u i n lovely football fans in kumasi needs u so come back for us… dis our number call us when ever u are in kumasi, 0241 867255 we love u n may all mighty allah be with u tonaado aaaaaammeeeeeeen.
