And finally as they say in our local Akan dialect, the old lady has paved the way for things to fall back into its normal place. Literally.
The World Cup Qualifiers and the much anticipated clash between Ghana’s immediate rivalry the Super Eagles of Nigeria became a talk of town when the Nigerians released their squad two weeks for the game. Many were wondering what could possibly be the reason their Ghanaian counterparts, the Black Stars do not want to follow suit.
Upon enquires, it was made clear by the Ghana Football Association(GFA) that it was a “Technical Strategy” by the body to do it.
With barely four days to the match between Black Stars of Ghana and Nigeria, the GFA has finally released the squad.
The goal-post sport is made up of four players. They include, Joseph Wollacott as usual from Swindon, England, Manaf Nurudeen of Eupen, Belgium, Lawrence Ati Zigi of Gallen – Switzerland, and Richard Ofori in South Africa, Olando Pirates.
The defensive department has nine players in all. With the usual Daniel Amartey,Andy Yiadom, Joseph Paintsil and Alexander Djiku, other new faces made the list too.
Now to the middlemen, thus, the midfielders, we have six in all. The much expected players to make the squad. Thomas Partey of Arsenal, Daniel Kofi Kyere from St. Pauli, Edmond Addo of Sherif, Iddrissi Baba in Spain, Kudus Mohammed in Ajax, and Elisha Owusu in KAA-Gent Belgium.
Up front has Jordan Ayew from Crystal Palace, Christopher Antwi of VFL- Bochum, Felix Afena Gyan – Roma, and Kwasi Wriedt from Holstein Kiel- Germany.
These are the men assembled by Otto Addo and his technical team to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.
