Ghana’s all-time top scorer, Asamoah Gyan has shared how the Black Stars can end its trophy drought.
The four-time African champions has failed to annex a continental trophy since 1982, having bottled the African Cup of Nations title on three occasions (1992, 2010 and 2015).
According to Gyan, it will be prudent for Ghanaians to limit their expectations in a bid to win the title whiles suggesting a five-to-ten-year development plan for the betterment of Ghana football.
“We have to limit our expectations and that is the only thing. we need to draw either 5 years or a 10-year development plan. Look at Senegal they drew a plan and now they are dominating Africa”
“Ghanaians wanted us to win the world cup when we participated in it for the first time. It’s not that I don’t have confidence as a player to win the trophy, but it should be planned. Netherlands have participated in every world cup, so we really have to limit our expectations when it comes to tournaments”
“Let’s groom the team we have now. When we go to a tournament and win the trophy it will be a bonus but that wasn’t the plan. Sometimes it happens”
“We need to have a 5 year or a 10-year development plan. We put pressure on the young ones when we think we are going to win every tournament we participate in. With such a plan Ghana football will rise again” he said.
