Konadu blames results on supporter apathy
Accra, Sept 6, GNA - Black Stars' assistant coach,
Maxwell Konadu has blamed the team's uninspiring
display against the Cranes of Uganda on supporter
apathy.

The Black Stars played to a hostile crowed after
their own supporters turned on them in what
appeared to be a revenge for the team's
embarrassing campaign at the FIFA World Cup in
Brazil.

"We are disappointed but what can we say; It is
football and sometimes these things happen but the
most important thing now is to gather ourselves
together and pick up the piece and also pull a
surprise.

"When you play football and you are doing well,
all the nation is behind you, you have all the
support that is needed. All these factors are very
important to a team winning and if you do not have
certain things or certain areas of your
preparations is not going on well, we can not do
it all ourselves.

"When you are playing before your teeming fans and
you realise everybody is not just behind you,
sometimes it is difficult to play against the
against supporters".

While the Black Stars returned from recess to boos
from the home crowd, the team began an early
attempt to draw parity which arrived five minutes
into the second half.

Konadu said "We know that so many things have gone
wrong which is not the players or the fault of any
body but we have to understand one thing, once we
do not have their support, we cannot continue to
play well.

"We have to plead with the supporters that
whatever that has happened has already happened.
We have to come together as one nation and move
the nation forward".

Ghana will be on the road to Lome where they play
Togo in their next game on Wednesday.
