Ghana and Fiorentina midfielder, Alfred Duncan says the current crop of players for the Black Stars are committed and ready to die for the nation but has dismissed claims that they are money conscious.
Ghana is yet to win a major trophy since 1982 and the midfield enforcer says ending the country’s trophy drought is something that the players normally discuss.
The current generation of Black Stars players, have been often tagged as money-conscious and not too keen to help end the trophy drought for Ghana.
But Duncan who made his Black Stars debut under Kwesi Appiah in November 2012 has described the situation as frustrating but disagrees with claims the players don’t care.
The 27-year-old who is currently contracted to Italian side Fiorentina says winning a trophy for the nation is a conversation that features prominently whenever the players converse.
“It’s very frustrating because most at times, even when we are not at camp and we are in our various clubs, sometimes we get the opportunity to talk to some of the players, (and) it’s something we talk about the most,” he told Accra based TV station.
“It’s something we also have in mind because most of the players also want to be great as the likes of Abedi Pele…obviously we used to hear about them.
“Even having our team manager Stephen Appiah next to us, you also feel like I will like to win something with the national team or you want to get to the level where the old players got to that made that what they are today; that got them the names they have today,” he concluded.
