If we have a Ronaldo or Messi type of player, let me know - GFA boss Kurt Okraku defends Black Stars call up

Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association [GFA] has defended the Black Stars call up after the team's exit from the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON].

The Ghana senior national team were crashed out of the 33rd edition of the AFCON at the group stage failing to win any of the matches played.

Having suffered a defeat against Morocco in their Group C opener, the team were held to a 1-1 draw by Gabon and suffered a humiliating 3-2 defeat to debutants Comoros.

Following the Black Stars' elimination from the tournament, the quality of the players have been questioned with others calling for the sack of Milovan Rajevac, who is the head coach of the team.

However, Mr Okraku defending the player call up said the best players were named for the tournament insisting there was no player with the qualities of Ronaldo or Messi who was left behind.

“The players who represented Ghana are the best players we have, if there is a Ronaldo or Lionel Messi type of player somewhere who will move straight to our first eleven, just let me know and I will include him," he told Takorado based Skyy Power FM.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Sports will hold a crisis meeting with the Ghana Football Association [GFA], led by Kurt Okraku on Friday, January 21.
