We still have problems with our strikers, serious problems. We have to come back and do a better work. Look at the type of game Burkina Faso played (against Ethiopia) and you think Ghana can face them?\u201d, he queried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBurkina Faso and Ivory Coast can easily take this cup because the set of players they have play aggressive football, are experienced and they have stamina\u201d, Nyaho told 90 MINUTES.<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cRealistically, football on the continent has changed and there is little to choose between the teams.<\/p>\n<p>Countries who a few years back wouldn\u2019t have even been mentioned are playing great football. Look at Ethiopia, look at Burkina Faso, look at Mali and Niger, look at the football DR Congo played against us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe quality of play has been high and we have youthful players but have they got the experience, the skill? We have to look at our strikers, Ghana doesn\u2019t have strikers like Gervinho, Drogba or Yaya Toure. I insist on young players but they must be quality players. We don\u2019t have quality players so I think we\u2019ll be returning home soon,\u201d he fired.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former GFA Chairman, Dr. &#8230;<\/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-11885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11885\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2013\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
