Former Ghana international Frimpong Manso
Former Ghana international Frimpong Manso has called on the playing body of the Black Stars to change their attitude and commit to the cause of playing for the country.
Manso’s remarks come on the back of the team’s poor performances in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
After four games, the Black Stars are winless and sit 3rd in Group F with just two points, at risk of failing to qualify for the AFCON tournament scheduled to be hosted in Morocco next.
However, in an interview, the Bibiani GoldStars coach said the playing body needs a change of attitude.
He further called on the technical handlers of the team to drop players who seem to prioritize their clubs over playing for the national team.
“Black Stars need a change of attitude. As it stands, chances of qualifying for the AFCON are over, but they will need to change their attitude ahead of the World Cup qualifiers,” he told Asempa FM as monitored by Ghanasoccernet.com.
“It is bad to see them under pressure to win games minutes before the end of the games. I know some of them are committed, but those who are lackadaisical must be dropped because these are the same players who play for the World Cup qualifiers.
“There must be some drastic changes because some of the players seem to be prioritising their clubs over the national team,” he added.
Ghana will be hosted by Angola on Friday, November 15, at the Estádio 11 de Novembro before hosting Niger in their final game at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday, November 18.
The Black Stars currently sit in third place in Group F, with just two points from four games, and are hoping to qualify for the tournament against all odds.
To secure qualification for AFCON 2025 in Morocco, Ghana needs to win both of their remaining matches and hope Sudan loses its upcoming games against Niger and Angola.
