Published on: 10 October 2017

Former Ghana under-20 coach Sellas Tetteh says the Black Starlets team lacks that one player who can change the game in difficult moments.

The Black Starlets of Ghana have struggled at the ongoing FIFA Under-17 world cup in India, losing their second game against the United States on Monday.

The team won its first game against Colombia, but were very unconvincing, with Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin dissatisfied with the output of his players.

Meanwhile, Coach Sellas Tetteh who was the last Coach to lead the Black Starlets to the World Cup, ten years ago revealed on Kwese TV, where he has been an analyst for the FIFA under-17 world Cup indicated the team lacks a player who can turn the game on when the team is down.

"Unfortunately, we don't have a match-maker, a game-changer we don't have, the team plays collectively as a team and if we have a game changer," he told Kwese Free Sports

"At a point in the game we were playing 10 against 11 but we couldn't create clear chances."

Sellas Tetteh is a master tactician in terms of youth football, and he is the only coach from the African continent to win an Under-20 world Cup.

The former assistant Coach of the national team has been technical director at Dansoman based club Liberty Professionals.

The Black Starlets of Ghana will face host India in the final group game on Thursday, need a win or a draw to progress to the next stage.
