Dan Owusu, a former Ghanaian striker, has said that the current players playing for the senior national team are not driven by passion.
According to former player Dan Owusu, who won the best striker in three consecutive years in 1974, 75 and 76, gone were the days when players played for the national team with passion.
Dan Owusu said that the players we have today are driven by the money and so have no love for the team.
He further advised the current players to be dedicated and commit themselves to represent the country with passion and not be led by the monetary gains.
The former player, who was an ex-Tano Bofoakwa player, claims strikers home and abroad lack the creativity to find the back of the net.
He argued that most of our strikers are not creative, they don’t use their brains in front of the 18 (yard box).
He recounted how he got injured playing for the national team, and yet he has not been compensated.
According to Dan Owusu, he is still having complications from that injury and has not been given the needed support.
60-year-old Dan Owusu won the top scorer awards on three occasions.
He scored 24 goals in the 1973/74 season; he then increased to 26 goals the following season.
In the 1976 season, he rattled in 28 goals for the crown and was adjudged the best footballer in Ghana that same year.
