Mr. Dan Owusu, former player of the Black Stars, has said that the current crop of players in the team, are not ready to learn from former players and coaches, hence their abysmal performances over the years.
He said things will change if the players are ready to learn and put into practice advice that will be given to them by the experienced retired players and coaches.
“I’ve said it over and again that, these boys [Black Stars] do not want to learn. If they are prepared to learn things will change and everybody will be happy”, he said.
He stated in an interview with GNA Sports that, he learnt a lot when he was playing for the Black Stars those days and that is why he was able to be the top striker for the team for years.
“Even those of us who have been once upon a time top scorers for the country, we learnt. Everything boils down to learning because the one ahead of you is more experienced so you should make some effort to learn from us, as we are still alive”, he said.
He said he was ready to share with the Black Stars all the experience he has gained over the years but it looks as if the boys are not ready to learn and entreated them to open up to be taught all the tricks in scoring goals, because Ghana needs the trophies.
He noted that goal King race is no more interesting, saying, “Scoring 12 to 13 goals in 30 matches to become a goal king as we see this days is very disappointing. Those days, we were scoring between 27-29 goals to be crowned goal king and that is because we were very serious and we learnt also from our seniors”, he noted.
“They also do not control the ball well in the vital zone and that is really affecting their performance. They are wasting more goals than they are scoring”, he stated.

These crop of players can not control and hold the ball for a second. They always lose the ball to their opponents to dictate the pace. That is why there is no cohesion in the team. For this reason they are missing the services of Essien, Sulley Nuntari,K P Boateng, Kwadwo Asamoah,. How come the authorities banned because of Kwasi Appiah was not in good terms with them. This is in fact a self inflicted wounds.Foreign countries have their own but will not ban them. They would rather discipline them and bring them back quickly to serve the nation. Sports ministers are supposeto go to the dressing room and motivate them but in Ghana sports minister will stab them in the back.
Is there something good going on in Ghana under the NDC? The answer is emphatic 'NO.' The Sports Officials who brought about the Brazil fiasco are in the Mahama's office enjoying, while Muntari, Essien, and Kevin Boateng are being used as scapegoats.
These fitre fitre boys don't know how to score goals like your days that is why the stadia are increasingly becoming empty
