Former Ghana international Mohammed Polo has cited inconsistency as contributing factor for decline of Ghana football at large.
The West African giants have been unable to live up to expectation in recent times. The Black Stars and other youth national team have been poor in major tournament, suffering early exit in the process.
Until recently, Ghanaian clubs including Kotoko and Hearts of Oak have also failed to perform in the Africa inter-club competition.
Speaking to Koforidua-based Bryt FM, Polo, who won the 1978 AFCON with the Black Stars has blamed inconsistency for decline of Ghana football.
“We have to accept that for some years now, football is not going on well. Our game took a nosedive after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where players fought the FA’s leadership at the time”
“It’s also being years since Ghana won the AFCON title. Moreover, our youth national teams are not performing in recent times. Truth be told, there is no consistency in Ghana football because there are no structures”
“Our major problem is consistency; we need to start from the juvenile football to the top. Despite everything, we still have the opportunity to do something, we just have to raise our technical direction and focus on the philosophy launched by the FA and with the continuation of Kurt Okraku, we hope all these will be tackled for the betterment of our game” he said.
