AFCON 2021: Badu slams Ghana players after group stage elimination

Former Udinese player Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has slammed Ghana players after their disappointing performance at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 31-year-old partly blamed the Black Stars’ poor display in the tournament on the playing body.

Ghana suffered elimination from the group stage after losing two of their Group C matches.

This is the first time since 2006 that they have been unsuccessful to qualify from the group stage.

Milovan Rajevac’s side lost their opening match against Morocco 1-0, with Sofiane Boufal’s late goal securing the Atlas Lions’ victory at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.

The Black Stars looked better in their next match against Gabon and managed to score an early goal through Andre Ayew.
