Agyemang Badu urges current Black Stars players to up their game in 2022 World Cup qualifiers

Former Udinese midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has urged the current Black Stars players to up their game in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Stars made a promising start to the qualifiers with a 1-0 win over Ethiopia at the Cape Coast stadium last Friday.

However, they failed to build on that as they lost 1-0 leaders, South Africa courtesy Bongokuhle Hlongwane's 83rd-minute strike at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

Ghana are now second on the standings with three points, one point behind.

"The current Black Stars players should up their game a bit and they should know the difference between national team and club."

"For qualifiers, you might go and play on a bad pitch and u need to adjust yourself," Emmanuel Agyemang Badu told Ahomka FM/Ocean1 TV."

The Black Stars will in October return to action when the side faces Zimbabwe in a double-header encounter.

The first game will be played at home on October 6 before Ghana travels to Harare for the second meeting on October 10.
