Under-pressure Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson wants public backing and says he should be evaluated on his performance not age.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old claims his recent mistakes in international matches have got nothing to do with his longevity.<\/p>\n
The former Blackpool goalkeeper said he is determined to prove his critics wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have suffered criticisms throughout my career and in all instances I have proven my doubters wrong,\u201d Kingson noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, I think it is about time my critics stood back and realized my holistic contribution to the national team which should lead to more encouragements and not trying to get me out of the team.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
The fans are still unrepentant and continuously jeered when he spills a ball or commits a blunder at the team\u2019s training sessions ahead of the double header against Swaziland and Brazil.<\/p>\n
Kingson, who captained Ghana to win silver at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, says his national team commitment level can never be questioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have got nothing to lose if I leave the national team today because I have achieved all there is to, something no one in the history of Ghana football can rival,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI may be old but my performance should always be the yardstick by which I should be measured,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
