Former Ghana international Emmanuel Ampiah has expressed displeasure about the Black Stars defense ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars will compete for the covetous trophy in neighbouring country, Ivory Coast as the search for a fifth continental trophy continues. It is important to note Ghana are without a major silverware since 1982.
Ghana arrived in Ivory Coast on Wednesday and will open their AFCON account against Cape Verde on Sunday before taking on Egypt and Mozambique respectively.
The Black Stars has been poor defensively in recent games, conceding seven goals in their last four games.
“Our defense is a major problem. If you have a bad defense, you earned up conceding more goals. If you have a good defense and poor attackers, you are likely to get a draw and if you are lucky to get a goal there’s a high possibility of getting a win because of the good defense you have. Honestly, I don’t like the way our defenders play” he said in an audio aired on Kessben FM monitored by Footballghana.com.
Ghana have a history of success in the AFCON, having won the title four times, most recently in 1982. However, they have experienced defeat in three finals since then, including losses to Ivory Coast in 1992 on penalties and Egypt in 2010, as well as a repeat defeat to Ivory Coast in 2015.
