Two years ago we were the best at Under-20 level but now we couldn&#8217;t even qualify for the U-23 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>That shows we are rushing the boys. From here we want to go to the Black Stars straight away.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the guys have their minds on the Black Stars from here, but those days it wasn&#8217;t like that. You progressed gradually.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We should not rush the boys because it is going to get choked and when it gets choked what happens to those who get left behind?<\/p>\n<p>These days it is easy to go to Europe. Any agent can buy you a ticket, get you a justifier and if you are lucky you find a club.<\/p>\n<p>It does not mean the player is ready for the Black Stars. We need to open our eyes well otherwise we will struggle,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, contrary to his argument some players such as Andre Ayew, Jonathan Mensah and Samuel Inkoom among others, who were graduated to the Black Stars right after winning the U20 world championship have been vital players for the senior national team.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/950ae3f1hronicle180.jpg-150x27.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Continue reading here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105020174.html\" title=\"Ghana: Yaw Preko Against Rushing Youth to Senior Level\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ghana: Yaw Preko Against Rushing Youth to Senior Level<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> David Tagoe 29 April 2011 Handlers of the Black Stars have been advised to allow players who stand out at youth championships to develop before being promoted to the senior level. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-413757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
