Former Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has urged Black Stars head coach Otto Addo to remain firm and decisive in his decision-making to enhance the team’s performance.
Addo, who was recently reappointed as the head coach, has already made a positive impact by achieving back-to-back victories in the World Cup qualifiers.
Agyemang-Badu, a former Udinese player, expressed his support for Addo’s strategies and decisions.
The 33-year-old midfielder was particularly impressed with the team’s recent performances against Mali and the Central African Republic, citing these matches as a solid foundation for future growth.
One notable decision by Addo was to exclude captain Andre Ayew from these games, a move that garnered widespread praise.
“He’s bringing in new good guys. There are a lot of lapses in the team. That one, we can’t run away from that. He’s well experienced,” Agyemang-Badu told Joy Sports.
“This is the second coming. He knows where he needs to beef up. We will support him. I mean, I’m a fan of him. Let me tell you that for a fact. I think he will build a good team for us.”
Agyemang-Badu emphasized the importance of Addo remaining firm in his decisions, saying, “He should be very tough like how he is as usual. Take decisions that he thinks will help him and help the team. That’s the most important thing.”
The Black Stars are preparing for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers in September. Fans and pundits alike are eagerly awaiting the implementation of Addo’s strategies.
