Fred Pappoe Advises We Focus On Mending Cracks In The Black Stars Rather Than Captaincy Brouhaha.

Fred Pappoe Advises We Focus On Mending The Cracks In The Black Stars Rather Captaincy Brouhaha. 

Mr Fred Pappoe

The former vice president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Fred Pappoe, says the focus of the national discourse about the Black Stars must be on mending the cracked wall instead of justifying or condemning the manner in which the change of the leadership in the team was effected last week after Asamoah Gyan was stripped of the captain’s armband and handed to Andre Dede Ayew, then the deputy captain.

According to the former vice president of GFA, the continuous discussion of the captaincy row rather than how the team can move on and progress would only heighten tension in camp and possibly affect the team’s psyche ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt next month.

Mr Pappoe, who was once the Black Stars management committee chairman from 2005 to 2010, told the Daily Graphic monitored by kenetey.blogspot.com that he was worried that the focus was shifting from the invited players to the change in leadership and it had the potential to worsen an already delicate relationships within the team’s camp.

The football administrator in which under his leadership the Black Stars qualified for the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup, said the team psychologist would have to work very hard to get affected to put the captaincy issue behind the team and to focus on the task ahead in Egypt.

“The players involved may publicly say they are fine with the changes, but that should be no delusion".
