Agyemang Badu scored the winning goal that gave Ghana U20 World Cup title<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang Badu says the country\u2019s U-20\u2019s lack of mental grit accounted for the team\u2019s early exit from the ongoing Africa Youth Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Satellites were bundled out of the championship in South Africa at the group phase following defeat to\u00a0Nigeria\u00a0and two draws against Gambia and Cameroon.<\/p>\n

The early exit has caused massive uproar among soccer fans in the West African country after the team won the last edition of the competition in\u00a0Rwanda\u00a0two years ago and conquered the World in Egypt the same year.<\/p>\n

The Udinese enforcer who was part of the victorious squad in 2009 says the team\u2019s failure to progress in the competition should be laid on lack of mental toughness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so sad that after we what we did in 2009, this team didn\u2019t go far and lift the image of the Nation high. I think they lacked team spirit and didn\u2019t seem to have the will to die for the country as it was in our case,\u201d Badu told Citi FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring our time, we did work and looked out for each other and we had the team chemistry and spirit and it worked to perfection for us. In competition\u2019s like this it important you psyche yourself and give over 100% to the course of the Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
