DAN KWEKU YEBOAH REACTS TO JORDAN AYEW: BLACK STARS NEED REINFORCEMENTS FOR WORLD CUP.

Sports journalist Dan Kweku Yeboah has commented on Jordan Ayew’s recent statement that the Ghana national football team (Black Stars) are ready for the World Cup. Speaking with Paul Napoleon Agyemang, Yeboah said that while Ayew has the right to express his opinion, the technical team believes the squad still needs reinforcements. Yeboah explained that coach Otto Addo has already approached players who did not participate in the qualifiers, and some have agreed to join. He emphasized that only relying on players who helped the team qualify is not enough, recalling how players like André Ayew in previous tournaments made significant impacts despite missing qualifiers. He also pointed out that even against teams like Comoros national football team, Ghana struggled to score, showing areas of weakness in the current squad. Comparing past World Cup squads from 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022, Yeboah stressed the importance of selecting the best players available, regardless of qualifier participation, to strengthen the team. Yeboah concluded that while Jordan Ayew speaks as captain, the final decisions rest with the technical team, and reinforcing the squad is crucial for Ghana to compete effectively at the World Cup.
