Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has said the Black Stars players who are not ready to commit their all to the senior national team must get up and leave ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
In 2018, Ghana missed out on the World Cup after failing to qualify from the group.
The GFA president Kurt Okraku, in a bid to ensure Ghana does not miss out on another World Cup, has vehemently told the Black Stars players that the GFA would not tolerate any lackadaisical attitude from players.
The GFA President said. “It’s the moment I have been waiting for because perhaps this is my very first time and It’s a moment each of you should be looking up for if you’re a top player.”
“If any of you is not a top player this is the door you can move out; it means you don’t belong to this family. You don’t belong to the platform that confronts us this Friday,” He added.
Pressure has been mounted on the team by Kurt Okraku to deliver come Friday, September 3, as the Black Stars host Ethiopia at the Cape Coast Stadium.
He said the World Cup is where the world’s best players are assembled, hence Ghana must book a ticket to the next mundial.
He said, “If you are a top player the World Cup is the biggest platform you can think about. It is where all the big players are assembled and show what they are made of.”
Adding, “If you are a top coach this is the time to show you are the best CK. The same if you are a top manager this the time to show what you have.”
Kurt Okraku further said, “I believe each one of you here has been waiting for the time to play at the World Cup and that journey starts from here.
“It’s important that each one of us will keep our minds firmly focused on the end vision which is qualify to the mundial. That is why we are challenged to be part of that massive platform,” he concluded.
