‘Don’t blame the players’- Ex-Ghana star reacts to Black Stars’ shocking AFCON exit
A former Ghana international Laryea Kingston believes the current Black Stars players are not mainly responsible for the shocking display and eventual exit from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars finished an embarrassing 4th position in their group, picking just a point from 3 games. The nadir of Ghana’s abject showing was a humiliating defeat to lowly Comoros on Tuesday; a result that has made Ghanaians furious with all that has played out in Cameroon.
Speaking to Kumasi-based Silver FM, Kingston believes what transpired in Cameroon is mainly blameable on Coach Milovan Rajevac.
“I can’t blame the players entirely for what happened. We have to have a good technical team that will guide them. The players only execute what they are told on the pitch,” he told Silver FM.
“The minnows who are causing upshocks at the tournament have good men on their technical bench that’s why. I agree to such an assertion. That’s why I insist we should limit the blame on the players.
“I agree with majority of Ghanaians that the technical team let us down. If you change formation in all your three matches, it means you don’t have belief in what you have.
“As a technical person, I saw no hint that the team had a certain pattern of play instituted by the Coach,” he concluded.
