Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Bernhard Lippert has refused to assess home-based players who made the Black Stars squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against South Africa and Sudan.
Prior to the qualifiers, coach Charles Kwabla Akonnor handed as many as 12 home-based players call up into the national team of which five made their debut in the final round of the qualifiers.
Reacting to the performance of the local players, the former Azerbaijan technical director indicated they showed a very good performance but said two games is not enough to trust them.
“In the training, they showed a very good performance but today it’s not enough to trust them. I can assess Ganiyu, he made two very good matches but the other players it was on the 20 minute much time “he said.
He continued that, “Talking about Awako, we know what can he do but we have to see him again and again on this level. Also Sao Tome is not at highest level for me so it’s difficult to assess a player. Gives him more time, they are adopting very well in training so I think more players then Ganiyu will make the way to the first eleven in the squad.”
