David Duncan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ex-international Augustine Arhinful has attacked Ghana Under-23 coach David Duncan for the team\u2019s shock exit from the 2012 London Olympic Games eliminators. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He believes the former AshantiGold coach is to be blamed for his over-reliance on locally-based players who flustered in the preliminary qualifier against Sudan. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Meteors lost 0-1 at home and drew 1-1 in Khartoum after the team was revamped\u00a0 with five foreign-based players and bowed out 2-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

The 1996 Olympian claims Duncan must take the whip for poor selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s surprising that in a big competition like this he (Duncan) relied solely on local players. Qualification to the Olympic games over the years has been a combination of both local and foreign players,\u201d Arhinful told Citi FM Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigeria team that won the Olympic in 1996 were predominantly foreign based players and if you look at the Cameroonian side that won the competition in 2000, they used foreign players to achieve that aim and so it wasn\u2019t proper he shut the door on the foreign players in the initial stages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dice was cast for us when we lost the first leg at home and the hurriedly arranged plan to have few foreign players to help salvage the situation backfired on him and he should be held responsible for his indecisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
