black of Ghana it was quite unfortunate black of Ghana ofh last analis on GH of it has come to an end people have begin to realize you could see say he's talking out of emotions point of our national team and the lowest point asking we've been descending on the graph so if you draw a graph of the black stars performance here depend any said draw a graph of the black stars performance in the last 20 years this is the lowest that you can get to and I always say this that draw two draws against Nigeria for the World Cup qualifiers uh the playoff that sent us to the World Cup in Qatar is a game that has been holding the black stars uh the Goodwill in the last 10 years that game has been holding the black stars Goodwill s two draws go in Kumi and short Nigeria these are the two draws black the last few years the team has been very poor the team has been extremely Dr in in times of five five 6 seven years now we've been descending I would even say 6 seven years now but look at the trajectory of the black stars we used to be a team that had the birth right of winning the afcon so getting to the finals the first four that we attended all of them were in the finals first four never has it happened in any Continental competition before for international football for a national team to be present in the final of a competion for four consecutive times and win two so that was the standard then started from getting to the semifinal getting final semi-final final so winning then getting to final semi-final then we started descending to the point where we started getting eliminated from the round of 16 that is immediately after the group stage the next step now for two consecutive times we have been El minated from the afcon group stage that is 2022 in Cameroon 2024 in Ivory Coast 2019 round of 16 so you can see say B and I can say this Sam the legendary Sam always I mean tells me this that the level that the black stars is going very soon the team will reach a point where we will not qualify for the afcom and Sam is like a sage Sam is one of the people he knows football those of you he knows football Sami kof knows everything inside out his photographic memory so when he says this thing even in two three years ago when he says that the kind of football that we are playing it will be very difficult for us some time to come for the black stars to qualify for the African Cup of Nations to qualify just to for the team to say that they have even he says it will be very difficult for the black stars to qualify for the African Cup of Nations for years to come and I think we are getting there from fin winning to finals to semi-final to getting elimin eliminated at quarterfinals and then we are getting to the point where the elimination Is tiing Us in the face in the group stages two times koros mozambik now we are getting to the point where the black stars may not even qualify and when we do qualify we should not make it a ytic some of us have been saying this for years CIA the only thing hold black the only we should be very honest the only Legacy the current Black Star Team the kind of play any everything like the way they play the way they play you see the team you clearly can see that this is a team that is not interested in playing I mean central Africa but look at 's team I will come to it but generally that the black has come to the lowest point of the graph and if we go down again it will predictably be not qualifying for the afcon not qualifying because group stage elimination means that every poor team can score you in the competition then the poor teams will be scoring you in the qualifiers in the qualifiers this is happening Angola then it's come to ner ranked 125 in the world they are scoring us is doing with Sudan Sudan not playing at home Sudan look at it so generally it is our football organization Administration we have been going down that's why I'm saying football any s person who is a corporate person if you give him the National Football structure of Ghana and the performan track record of Ghana in the last 10 years if you give that graph to any corporate person to say this has been the performance of the company black stars or Ghana Football he will sack everybody in the organization and rest restart because definitely something is going wrong that the graph is this from 1963 the graph is this now it's come to Flat The Descent this time has been very marked The Descent is very evident this is something that we have to understand and accept sir forget kudus forget Jordan forget inaki these names they don't matter to even the the weakest national team of the continent this names they don't matter people have come to understand what football is and they are beating us to the game that we used to beat them sometime ago Ghana Football you put them to build a national team at the senior level you can't build one year successfully you can't sustain it the only way to sustain it is to go back to the basics when we lose one when we win one then we forget we should not forget the graph is very palpable clear when we win one game we forget everything until a football administrator comes and says that I am going back and not rhetorics any sloganeering I'm going back and I can show say I have produced a quality under 17 a quality under 17 not one player quality under 17 team that we have gone to the quarterfinal semi-final of the World Cup under 17 then we are transitioning 10 out of the 20 to under 20 then we transitioned eight out of that 10 to the national team who will form the core the base of the team the the core of the team are players who have known themselves and he knows how he started with dere M John and all of them before these are players this is g style this is the style has become of European teams Belgium Spain strength weakness this is how Ghana builds our nation all of them we used to have academic house I don't want to go back to know that is a player I've known from under 17 10 games minimum together [Music] national team you need to have a national team style of play now you traveling around different kind of football and when I said this on radio like two years ago sayi William struggle for more than 10 games no the kind of play that he's playing for a very formidable national team but they are not too good compliment each other they know their strength and weaknesses from young age Defenders based on our cultural intuitions and instincts based on our inherent cultural values but to play competitive football to play at the highest level and beat top teams or come face to face and wrestle with top teams like we used to do we need to go back four five the most important games because we have failed to understand that we used to go by a certain PN which has changed Ghana all under teams collapsed all the Ghana under teams you don't find players from there
