Former Black Stars player Yussif Alhassan Chibsah believes lack of commitment from the players on the field of play contributed to the Black Stars early exit from the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Senior National Team recorded their worst performance at this year’s AFCON after failing to win a single game at the group stage eventually loosing to a debutant, Comoros by 3-2 to exit the tournament at the group stage.
In a exclusive chat with Starr FM Sports, Yussif Chibsah questioned the commitment levels of the players to the national team.
“From the game that I watched, there were a few concerns I had and one had to do with the commitment level of our boys. We never heard any issue before and during the AFCON about management not providing what the players needed. We never heard issues about finances, bonuses and whatever, it tell us everything was provided for, so we really have to look at the commitment levels of our boys. If you watch the game that they played, compared to other countries. You could see that players of some teams were more hungry and ready to die for their nation.” Chibsah said.
“Our players should not feel too comfortable and know that afcon is a career changing tournament because the commitment level of some our players is not what we expected it to be honestly ” he added.
The Black Stars arrived in Ghana this dawn from Cameroon.
