The Black Stars preparation for Saturday’s game against Germany is in full swing, a statement from the Ghana Football Association has revealed.
The Black Stars lost 2-1 to the USA in heartbreaking fashion in their first game on Monday night, and the aftermath of that game has seen several issues rear their head in the camp of the team.
Initial reports from the team’s camp in Macieo was that the team was in a dejected mood after the loss, and the side flew straight back to Macieo after the game without even stopping for any respite in their hotel in Natal.
Then a report came out claiming mutiny and discontent in the team’s camp, particularly from some senior players and towards the head coach-Kwesi Appiah.
Speaking after the game on Monday, Kevin Prince Boateng expressed surprise over the decision to start him from the bench, stating the coach must have known what he was doing; in a not too veiled dig at Kwesi Appiah.
But the GFA has officially come out, claiming the reports of a revolt were untrue. All 23 players were on hand for the training session after the report of discontent in camp.
“We wish to assure Ghanaians that coach Kwesi Appiah and all his players have shifted their focus to the match against Germany on Saturday, keen on winning the match to revive the Black Stars chances of progressing to the knockout stage” The statement said.
