Akyea Na 33bu Y3 – Optimistic & Patriotic Polo Wants Ghanaians To Throw Weight Behind Underfire Black Stars Coach

Legendary Ghanaian player Mohammed Ahmed Polo has called for support for Black Stars head coach Charles Kwabla Akonnor on the back of the clarion call for his sack.

Akonnor, the manager of the senior men’s national team, has come under a lot of scrutiny most especially in the last 24 hours after supervising Ghana’s first competitive loss against South Africa yesterday in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The four-time African champions have endured underwhelming performances under the ex-Wolfsburg skipper and thus leading to the majority calling for his head.

But jumping to his defence is 1978 African Cup gold medalist Mohammed Polo who believes Akonnor needs support from Ghanaians instead of the bashing he is currently receiving from his ‘own’.

An optimistic Mohammed Polo contends despite Ghana surrendering top spot to South Africa after two games and level on points with Ethiopia, the three time World Cup participants could still turn things around.

“Ghanaians should support C.K Akonnor because it’s never too late. The current players in the Black Stars are the best he has now,” Polo told OTEC FM.

“Let support him and see the way forward. Let’s support our own because the foreign coaches only come and spend our money” he ended.

Ghana will return to qualifying duties next month when they lock horns with the Warriors of Zimbabwe in a crucial double header.
