In a candid assessment of Ghana’s performance at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, Hon. Kobena Woyome, the Ranking Member of Youth and Sports, highlighted a pressing concern that has plagued the country’s football prowess — a glaring lack of endurance.
This critique comes in the wake of Ghana’s disappointing early exit from the tournament, mirroring the bitter memories of their dismal showing in the 33rd edition held in Cameroon.
Hon. Woyome expressed his dismay over Ghana’s inability to maintain competitive momentum, particularly in the crucial stages of matches.
“We also notice that our endurance is a problem because when we start from minute one to the 70th minute then a lot of the players are weak on the pitch,” he told Peace FM as monitored by Footballghana.com
“So what you realise is the 50/50 balls the opponent takes them so running after the ball and making sure you are in the game we don’t see it.
“So endurance problem is there if you look at the opponent who also started the same minute as you there appear stronger poised to deliver so where is the endurance the Black Stars consistently over the period has been,”
