Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Togo legend Emmanuel Adebayor has hit out at the Black Stars following their lacklustre display against Mozambique in the 2023 AFCON.
Adebayor said the team did not deserve to qualify for the knockout stage after such a disappointing performance.
The Black Stars ended the group phase of the tournament without a win after a late collapse saw the Mambas come from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium.
Two well-taken penalties by Jordan Ayew on either side of the half put Chris Hughton side in control heading into the final minutes of the game.
“I’m not surprised, I’m rather disappointed. Coming into this game, they [Ghana] knew they had their destiny in their hands, they knew they had to win, they knew this was a key game for the country but the way they played is just unbelievable,” Adebayor told George Addo Jr.
“They played with no motivation, they played with no communication, they played like they’re just here for fun and for me it’s completely wrong.
“I don’t know where they want to go because I think the best place for them is to fly back to Ghana, so that they can all go back to their clubs. If Ghana even qualifies, what are they going to do in the next stage?”
