2025 AFCON Qualifiers: Emmanuel Agyemang Badu slams Black Stars after poor showing against Sudan

Black StarsFormer Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has voiced his frustration following Ghanas disappointing 2-0 defeat to Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.Speaking candidly, Badu criticized the national team’s performance, expressing his dissatisfaction with their overall approach.Sudan opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, capitalizing on a defensive error by Ghana, with Ahmed Hamed Mahmoud converting the chance. Just three minutes later, Mohammed Abdelrahman added a second, further punishing the Black Stars.”The national team is in a ditch we don’t need to massage anything anymore I am tired me personally I am tired at this point we have to be humble and go back. Because there is nothing going on from local league, under 17, u-20, u-23, local Black Stars to the women’s u-17,u-20 and the Black Queens there is nothing going on,” Agyemang Badu told 3sports.”For the last 15 solid matches Black Stars have won only two games and you thing that last week we played, created chances and couldn’t score so it is compulsory that we will win this one. If you win this one the team is still not good the team is not you have changed coaches six times and still this is the same problem I think there is there are people who also escape the wahala.”This is the players you have this is what they are doing in their clubs and are doing very well the moment they get to Ghana then it turns to something else nothing goes on even controlling a ball is hard.”Look at the goal two defenders and the player pass between you I don’t know if they are blocking the ball or what the basic thing in football is to play the ball away if you play it away what will what will happen? You don’t have a team you don’t have character you don’t have passion you don’t have nothing and you can’t defend this kind of balls.”If you compare our two games set pieces we have gotten is more than 30 we have not utilized even one open play you can’t individual play is not working set pieces too is not working,”
