Legendary Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Polo insists unearthing quality talents have been the main problem for Ghana Football.
The former Accra Hearts of Oak player says there are abundance of talents in the country but there are very few technical brains to help improve their skills.
Polo, popularly referred to as the “Dribbling Magician” in his days playing football identified that during his generation there were a lot of talents that for those coming up could learn from them.
“I think we need to do more than what we are doing. The reason why I said that is because the succession plan is no more there. In my playing days you have someone you look up to but its no more there and this means this young footballers have to go through a process,” he said on the Legends Night Show on GhOne.
“The talents are still there, but the quality of the talent is what we are lacking, it means they need an additional value which will be impacted through coaching,” he added.
Many have accused the falling standard of the Ghana Premier League to the lack of quality talents.
The former Black Stars player believes the nation should invest in the game and most of the upcoming talents.
Mohammed Polo played for the national team during the 70’s and in the 80’s winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 1978.
