Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Poku has been explaining why himself and other Ghanaian players in the Major League Soccer struggle for international recognition
Kwadwo Poku has been invited to join the Black Stars for their upcoming international friendlies with Mexico and the USA.
This will be his second call up to the team after receiving a late call-up from former coach Avram Grant for Ghana's friendly with Canada last year.
The 25-year-old says the time difference makes it impossible for Ghanaian fans to watch the MLS and NASL.
“Back home in Ghana, the mindset about the leagues here is different. You can understand their point because they don’t get access to our matches," he told ghsoccerus.net.
"The leagues here cannot be compared to the Premiership or the La Liga but I must state that there are lots of good players and good coaches around the leagues here.
“Also, there are a lot of players in the NASL and MLS that play for their national teams. Even in the NASL, there are players playing for Jamaica, Trinidad &Tobago, Mexico and Canada”, Poku added.
