Ghanaians talk too much, says GFA Technical Director Bernhard Lippert

The Technical Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Bernhard Lippert has criticized the negative behaviour of Ghanaian football fans.

The country's football governing body has come under serious criticism following the recent poor performance of the various national team.

The latest shocking performance was the Black Meteors that exited at the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.

Ibrahim Tanko and his charges exit the tournament at the group phase with just a win.

However, speaking at the launch of the National Football Philosophy on Wednesday, July 12, Lippert argued that what people must understand is that many African countries are now ahead of Ghana.

“I think we are talking too much as a people. In Africa, most of the countries are ahead of us and we think we are still a football powerhouse. We need to work hard,” Bernhard Lippert said.

“It’s very important for us to have characteristics, That’s why we tried to find out our DNA as Ghanaians. We need to have an identity,” Bernhard Lippert said on Wednesday during the launch of the National Football Philosophy.”

The football philosophy has been launched following research by the Technical Directorate and inputs from technocrats, National and Club Coaches, (past and present), Administrators, Players, Referees, Supporters, Coach Instructors, Coach Educators, Politicians, Traditional Authorities, Women in Football, Sports Media Personalities among others.

The Ghana Football DNA will be the coaching and playing philosophy of Ghana Football.
