Twelve players arrived in the Black Stars camp in Xi’an on Monday ahead of the friendly against China on Wednesday.
China-based defender Lee Addy was the first to arrive in the team’s hotel in Shaanxi Province.

with the personel at hand…3-5-2 is the best way to go and get everyone involved
—–Majeed—–Clottey—-
————-Kwadwo—-
Atsu-–Annan–Boateng–-Acheampong–
–—-Razak–John Mensah–Afful–—
as for the strikers, boakye and gyan can come on at the half, the remaining midfielder can swap in at half as well and so can the remaining defenders and GK..this is the best and efficient way to be competetive with the squad he called and still get everyone on the pitch for a substantial amount of time…Gyan should NOT start because if he does it will show that people have reserved spots on the team
What is frank acheampong doing in the team with his buriram united whatever.lee addy another culprit,ghana,let’s try to be fair enough by inviting players who play in competitive leagues wai.
How competitive is the norwagian league, my brother?
well lets leave every thing for the coach to handle, he knows why he invited such players into the team.
