A group of ex-players led by former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah have arrive in Kumasi on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Sudan.
The seven former national team players will travel from Accra to join their counterparts in Kumasi to give pep talks to the Black Stars before Sunday’s crucial match
The iconic Ghanaian figure, who captained the team to two successive World Cups in 2006 and 2010, will be in the company of six other ex-stars to visit the players and boost their confidence ahead of the big game at the Baba Yara stadium.
CK Akunnor, Willie Klutse, Reverend Osei Kofi, Sammy Kuffuor and Awuley Quaye will travel from Accra to Kumasi to support the national team.
They will be joined in Kumasi by the likes of Abdul Razak, Opoku Nti, Sarfo Gyamfi and and others to boost the Black Stars during and before the game.
The trip is being funded by the country’s Sports Ministry in collaboration with the Ghana FA.
Ghana is following the footsteps of fellow West African rivals Nigeria who flew some of their top stars to the Nations Cup to support the Super Eagles which eventually helped them to break their 19-year jinx by winning title in South Africa.
The Ghanaians are desperate for a third appearance in the World Cup and leaving no stone unturned in their quest to qualify to Brazil 2014.
Non-thinkers who are leaders! So this too, you had to wait for Nigeria to “lead” before we “copied”? No wonder they say Ghanaian leaders really don’t think! No innovation…no common sense! Dont let another do before you follow GFA…common sense to integrate ex-players isn’t sold at makola market! If you treated old players of yester-years well, you won’t even need to hire a psychologist! Lead by example…lead by innovation…lead by selflessness…others will continue to insult us all the time—cos we make them lad and we follow! Kim Kardashian appeared in Nigeria recently and was paid a huge amount of money…for “nothing”. Trust me…lo and behold…”silly” Ghana followed suit some few weeks later to invite Chris brown to come and smoke wee o stage…and cops were standing there sheepishly and said nothing! Yet, when the poor man even looks at wee..he is arrested! And we get up and say “God bless Ghana or africa?” We are just stupid…no wonder we don’t progress!
And when you do such a thing ..like letting ex players go and inspire the boys…you want to be applauded! No—cos those are some of the stuff that are supposed to be done! Nothing extra-o!
It is not a bad thing to imitate success( in this case what the NFF did for the Super Eagles) especially if you have your eye set on the successful person’ achievements, in this case even if it is our Big brothers Naija. I do not think it is wrong, if by the GFA lame standards, this is what would work. Why not?
Yes we , will do it ..have faith…
Yes, we will do it ..have faith…
big ups to @MAKA…..ur comments r on point
We have been robbed off the services of Sellas Tetteh the man has the best tactical brain in Ghana currently. He comes through in the clutch situations.
mw friend if sellas tetteh use 28-30 years players to win under 20 is nothing
There’s no shame in copying a good thing.
Only a goat that does not change its mind !
I don’t think we are emulating Naija because this is been done by some of the old players behind the scenes long time ago. It is only no it has become public so they organizing it very well in the national level. For instance Abdul Razak has been doing it recently with Kotoko and he even advised the GFA to organise it at the national level. I shall be most grateful if the old players will show them how to take enalty kicks
