Ghana Needs Players Who Care About The Spirit Of The Nation – Badu

Ex Ghana international, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has come out to blast the Black Stars’ underwhelming performance at the Africa Cup of Nations. He recently blamed the country’s playing body for their woes, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the Ghanaian jersey should represent the spirit of the nation, therefore Ghana needs players with character to represent the country.

Badu added that the national team is for every Ghanaian but it is not every Ghanaian who can play for the Black Stars.

His words, “The national team is for every Ghanaian. But it is not every Ghanaian who can play for the Black Stars.”

“The badge represents the spirit of the nation, so we need players with character to represent us. I think some of the players now don’t know the value of the jersey.”

“If you look at how our football has been for the past two years when we started with the qualifiers to the tournament, I don’t think you will be too much surprised with the performance of the Black Stars, although I [thought] we were going to qualify from the group stages.”

“The things that happened two years back is what has manifested now. I’m not surprised because a lot is going on. We can’t say everything publicly. Trust me, what went on is the reason for this result. Preparations wasn’t the best and a whole lot.”
