Prince Tagoe slams Otto Addo for making Kudus captain
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Former Ghana forward, Prince Tagoe has criticised Otto Addo and his technical team over their choice of captain following the absence of Thomas Partey during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
West Ham star Mohammed Kudus was named as captain and led the team in the games against Sudan early this month.
A decision the ex-Hearts of Oak player believes hugely affected the team.
According to Tagoe, Jordan Ayew, the most experienced player in the team should have been made captain.
“You can’t give the captaincy to Kudus when Jordan is present in the team. You don’t do that. Kudus is a very good player, but you need to be patient and allow his time to come before you give him the captaincy, he told Angel TV.
“When you do it at the right time, you will feel the impact and he will feel well. The confusion in the team takes its root from all those things and it’s the major problem we must tackle. We must look at the captaincy issue,” he said.
Ghana were held to a goalless scoreline at the Accra Sports Stadium in the first leg before suffering a 2-0 defeat in the return encounter hosted by Libya.
The results leave the Black Stars at the 3rd spot with two points and will wrap up their qualifiers in November against Angola and Niger.
