Assistant coach for the Black Stars Maxwell Konadu has issued a bigoted statement after he was alleged to have tagged Ghana�s 31-man squad as not being the best selected for the tournament in Equatorial Guinea. The former Asante Kotoko head coach was alleged to have issued a statement indicating the 31 selected were not all the best players Ghana could produce for next month�s competition. But Konadu who handled the team in four out of the six qualification matches says he has never issued such statement as speculated. �I have never said that to anyone. I heard the news all around and I was surprised. Am wondering the people behind this,� the astute football tactician told Ghanasportsonline.com in an exclusive interview. �Can you oppose your boss whenever he takes a decision? As an assistant coach am ready to give my support to my head in other for us to succeed�. �The coach recommended some players which he thought needed a call-up into the team of which I gave him my support�. �So I don�t really know where all this news is coming from. I have never told anyone or any media house that�. Konadu is however expected to pair up with Avram Grant in other to succeed at the 2015 Cup of Nations which starts on January 17.
