we have been eliminated from the afcon group stage that is 2022 in Cameroon 2024 in I Coast 2019 round of 16 so you can see say yeah B and I can say this Sami K 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 alcom and Sam is like a sage Sam is one of the poor he knows football those of you he knows football Sami K 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 sometime 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 quarter finals and then we are getting to the point where the elimination is tired Us in the face in the group stages two times koros mosambi 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 y STI some of us have been saying this for years C the only black star the only thing black star we should be very honest the only legy the current Black Star Team the kind of play 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 is come to n ranked 125th in the world n they are scoring us say look at what Quia is doing with Sudan Sudan not playing at home Sudan so your coach look at it so generally it is our football organization Administration we have been going down that's why I'm saying football any person who is a corporate person if you give him the National Football structure of Ghana and the performances 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 compan 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 Kudo forget Jordan forget inaki these names they don't matter to even the the weakest national team of the continent these 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 you beat them some time ago they have mastered the Arts of the Black Star the art that we used now look the team now is a team that you clearly can see that there is lack of enthusiasm lack of enthusiasm we did it against m but we forget that Sudan win games Angola win games one or two then all of a sudden we have the best national all of us are guilty of this I have said I have seen the graph and i' I've been talking about the graph for so many years so I know that we are down we have descended but when we win one two then we forget that we used to be a team that between 2007 or 2005 to 2010 we won 30 out of let's say 40 games 30 out of 40 consecutive wins 8 9 10 10 11 12 consecutive wins this was the team so when we win one game now against Mali and against Central African Republic and then we think oh the team has come back then we forget the graph that there is no flat graph at least a but you can see The Descent the Black Star team is one of the poorest on the continent of Africa now believe and I'm not saying this because we have lost everybody knows that I've said that the graph is one that every corporate person who is giv this graph as the performance radar of any company or entity will sack everybody in that company and and and restart that is the team OT whatever we have been building a team for how many years building a team from 2017 it is 8 years now we are still building a team what kind of transition look this team currently me me when I say this they say Anga whatever Anga team but 20 of them are from under 20 out of 35 players from AF 20 are from under 20 those who went to the afcon almost 70% of them are from under 20 so we rely heavily on players who have been groomed from the youth I I'm tired saying this and I'm not saying because you have lost I've been saying this why Ghana became a Powerhouse was because we build our football from the basics from the base National Team all our national teams performing better the records are there all the national football teams performing better black perform better perform creditably well don't say better creditably well to our satisfaction majority of the players are ones who have been groomed by ghanian hands from base under 17 under under 12 15 of them out of 23 at some stage in the Youth Level this is how Ghana builds things and it is not to say that our for fathers were bad in implementing that this has been this has become The Benchmark for all the top European and South American teams every team that wants to be strong National Team level you cannot put players Thomas they have never played together then 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 me 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 John he knows how he started with dere M John and all of them these are players this is g style this is the style that has become of European teams belg weakness this is how Ghana builds our na all of them we used to have academic house I don't want to go back but know that is a player I've known from under 17 10 games minimum together extrem good you need to have a national team style of play now you traveling around picking Bron Thomas different kind of football and when I said this on radio like two years ago William struggle for more than 10 games the kind of play that he's playing extremely good for me a very formidable national team but they are not too good compliment each other they know their strength and weaknesses from Young Age based on our cultural intuitions and instincts based on inherent cultural values Wingers we don't think will come and perform to the forgetting that every national team is building national team way a lot of people know that they three or four of them are from Ghana ghanians four or five they come to pick players from Ghana and N now they are qualifying for World Cup under 17 they are qualifying for World Cup under 20 n they picking players now they are doing well because they've not won World one last building the national team from the young stage La administrators lazy extremely lazy administrators who are only sloganeering national team 20 and 14 and 15 we are looking it should bear fruit 5 years how many years 17 from 2019 by this time some of them are getting to we are 5 years in 23 years 24 years that is the maturity stage of football 24 years in mat now we don't have only K only kud 17 national team qualify for 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 Inu because we have failed to understand that we used to go by a certain patter which has changed Ghana all teams collapsed all the Ghana teams you don't find players from there in our style of play our culture our values 12673 15 foods no Ghana Football style is building from the basics because you bought a unique style of football Ghana you bought a unique style of football so we need to build Unique Style you need to design I am forgetting about today's draw which is a loss to me I am thinking that for consistency sake we need [Music] n [Music]
