Former Ghana international Prince Tagoe has raised concerns about Mohammed Kudus captaincy role during the Black Stars clash against Sudan
The West Ham United star was handed the captaincy armband in the absence of Andre Ayew and Thomas Partey as the Black Stars shared the spoils with the Falcon Jediane in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Despite Ghana’s dominance, the game ended in a pulsating goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, October 10, 2024
Speaking to Kwamina Sam Biney on Bryt FM’s Adekye Mu Nsem, Tagoe questioned Kudus leadership role in the game, saying Jordan Ayew should have led the team instead.
“I don’t know who decided to give Mohammed Kudus the captaincy armband. We don’t have to rush him. We should allow him to grow and not put him under pressure because he is one of our future stars. Our captaincy should be systematic”
“We always repeat our mistakes which is not the best. We have players who could have led the team instead of Kudus. Captaincy always breeds confusion in a team like hatred and jealousy. The right things must be done because captaincy has ruined the Black Stars before”
“We do not follow principles. Why give the captaincy armband to Kudus while Jordan Ayew is available? Muntari and Essien were there but we jumped over them and handed it to Asamoah Gyan”
Ghana will need to put on a much-improved performance in their upcoming game if they are to keep their AFCON 2025 hopes alive.
The West African powerhouse will travel to Tripoli, Libya to battles it out in the return leg against Sudan.
Otto Addo and his charges will have to negotiate for a positive result to keep chances of securing a spot at AFCON 2025 alive.
