Former Asante Kotoko CEO Herbert Mensah has delivered a stark message: “Ghana must rebuild the team starting from the back” after a disappointing exit from the 2023 AFCON.
For the second consecutive time, the Black Stars find themselves on the wrong side of early elimination, and Herbert Mensah attributes a significant portion of the blame to their defensive vulnerabilities, emphasizing the alarming number of goals conceded.
Ghana conceded six goals after three games in Ivory Coast.
In the must-win game against Mozambique the Black Stars conceded two late goals after Jordan Ayew’s double from the penalty spot.
“You have to build from the back and you got to have people with those engines that can do what it is that we see in modern football today,” he told Happy FM as monitored by Footballghana.com
