Because you don\u2019t use one day to improve on something, it needs time. When you give us time and focus on two, three, four strikers and keep them and work on them. At least we may not be able to get to where he reached. But we may be able to do half of it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"OwPVeNmnbRo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Obra on Adom TV (14-1-22)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OwPVeNmnbRo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana forward Richmond Boakye Yiadom says Black Stars strikers can only reach former captain, Asamoah Gyan\u2019s \u2018status\u2019 if given the support from all quarters.
