Black Stars and Asante Kotoko legend, Joseph Carr is advocating for home-based goalkeepers to be given a chance in the national team.
According to him, there is too much dependence on foreign-based players including goalkeepers.
Speaking to Graphic Sports, Joseph Carr said, “One area that the technical team should consider seriously is the goalkeeping department, where four foreign-based goalkeepers, some of who have failed to prove their worth, are always considered ahead of our local goalkeepers.
“It looks as if the Black Stars technical team are toying with the goalkeeping department by keeping faith with only foreign-based players. The goalkeeping department is key to building a formidable team, hence the need for the technical team to seriously consider some of our local goalkeepers who have proved to be reliable and dependable in the Ghana Premier League.”
In his view, the local goalkeepers when given the chance will prove that they can be very dependent.
“These goalkeepers are not only young and dependable but also have proved to be consistent, reliable, brave, and confident in their roles during local league matches. So I wonder why they are always left behind while others who easily give in under little or no pressure are always invited into the national team,” Joseph Carr added.
