Lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning, renowned for his candid assessments, raised a critical inquiry into the technical prowess of certain Black Stars players.
The 1-0 victory over Madagascar may have secured Ghana's triumph on the field, but it was the lackluster first-half display that prompted Foh-Amoaning to cast a discerning eye on the skillset of some key team members.
Bilbao striker Inaki Williams scored deep into added time to save Ghana from recording a goalless draw in their game in Group I.
“The truth is, some of our players don’t know how to play football. You could clearly see that some of the players were afraid of holding the ball. As a football player, you need to have some basic skills," Foh-Amoaning told Sompa FM.
"I can say without uncertainty that a lot of the players who played in the first half didn’t have the basic skills of handling the ball, passing, positioning, and even physical strength.
“Ghanaian players are confident holding the ball, but yesterday you could see that the players were afraid handling it and were passing anyhow. They just don’t have that level of technical ability that Ghanaian players have. Maybe it’s because they were trained outside; that’s fine. The fundamental concept of football in Europe differs from that in Africa. But I always say we should take what we have, distill it, and make it better,"
