Ex Ghana goalie Damba tells Black Stars players to forfeit winning bonuses for the love of Ghanaians

Former Ghana goalkeeper Abubakari Damba has stated that the only way for the Black Stars to once again get the support and love of Ghanaians is to forgo taking winning bonuses.

The Black Stars have not enjoyed the same support it used to after the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil fiasco.

Ghana have gone winless in their last 5 matches scoring 2 goals in the process and look near outsiders for qualification to the 2018 FIFA world cup in Russia.

“It’s obvious that these issues started when we went to Brazil and have deepened in events that have ensued after."

“But I think the only way to appease the fans is maybe when we change our attitude, we stop talking about money, money, money all the time and let’s go ahead play football and win, then we can draw the fans back.

“If it evens means that playing minus bonuses; let us see how we can win back the heart of Ghanaians”. He added.

The Black Stars will be hoping to win the AFCON 2017 in Gabon after failing to win the trophy in 2015 in Equatorial Guinea.
