Chris Hughton<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has admonished Black Stars\u2019 coach, Chris Hughton to field young players in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) competition.<\/p>\n

To the former GFA president, trust in young players with speed, skills, and stamina will help the team succeed and potentially win the tournament after 42 years.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Accra-based Starr FM<\/em><\/strong>, Nyantakyi emphasised the need of taking a cue from Ghana\u2019s past successes; liking it to the team\u2019s run to the final in Angola where they featured young folks like Dede Ayew,\u00a0 Daniel Addo, Opoku Agyemang, among others.<\/p>\n

He charged Hughton to take the bull by the horn in his decisions and not be swayed by big names.<\/p>\n

Nyantakyi said, \u201cIf we have courageous coaches, we will do well.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes coaches may be persuaded by big names but it\u2019s always not about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris Hughton should take a cue from the Angola experience where young players were fielded and we went all the way to the finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have players with speed, skills and stamina, I believe we can do well and I think that is what the coach should do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that with this, we can win the trophy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Nyantakyi believes that with the right approach and a focus on youth, Ghana can win its fifth continental title.<\/p>\n

Black Stars began their AFCON campaign against Cape Verde yesterday.<\/p>\n
