Renowned Ghanaian singer and preacher based in the United Kingdom, Sonnie Badu, has urged Ghana’s coach, Chris Hughton, to pair Daniel Amartey and Alexander Djiku in the upcoming game against Egypt in Group B.
Expressing his frustration with the Black Stars’ performance, Sonnie Badu shared his opinion on the tactical approach that should be adopted for the next match.
Known for his involvement in Ghana’s sports and entertainment, Sonnie Badu was seen wearing his replica Black Stars jersey while expressing disappointment with Salisu’s poor performance, which contributed to Ghana conceding a late goal against Cape Verde.
In the game against Cape Verde, Jamiro Monteiro scored in the 17th minute after Carbral’s shot was rebounded.
However, the Black Stars managed to equalize when Alexander Djiku, who was named Man of the Match, headed in a corner from Jordan Ayew.
Unfortunately, poor defending and a lack of concentration saw Ghana concede late in the game to hand Cape Verde a famous win.
Regardless, Sonnie Badu firmly believes that the Black Stars will perform better if the coach makes changes to the lineup and implements the right tactics.
Angry fan assaults Chris Hughton over defeat
Following Blackstars’ disappointing loss to Cape Verde yesterday, an angry Ghanaian took matters into his own hands and decided to physically assault Chris Hughton.
The 2-1 loss has not only fueled criticism of the team’s performance but also escalated into an alarming incident that marred the aftermath of the match.
According to ace Ghanaian sports journalist Sadiq Adams, a fan who was dissatisfied with manager Chris Hughton’s tactics and the team’s lacklustre performance resorted to physical aggression against the coach.
The fan has been arrested and is currently in the grip of the Ivorian police force.
Seasoned Ghanaian journalist Saddick Adams, popularly known as Sports Obama, brought the unfortunate incident to the attention of the public. Here’s what he shared:
“BREAK: One member of the Ghanaian supporters in Abidjan has been arrested for an attack on coach Chris Hughton at the team’s hotel. It took the intervention of some Ghanaian diplomats who were around to save the coach. The unidentified man has been handed to the Ivorian Police.”
