A member of the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP], Kennedy Agyapong has said the Inaki brothers are willing to play for the senior national team, the Black Stars.
Inaki especially has been a long-term target for the West African country.
However, the outspoken Ghanaian politician said the Inaki brothers despite being willing to play for the national team are feeling reluctant due to the abuse and harsh criticism players encounter from the media when they make errors.
“Two boys like me and they are in Atletico Bilbao. They are brothers”, he told Accra-based Happy FM.
“The Ghana Football Association came to see me that I have close ties with them. They told me they want to play but the way we criticize these players is too much especially the media so they get discouraged because of that they don’t want to."
The NPP guru also mentioned that for Ghana football to develop all people with close ties to teams should not be allowed to manage the Ghana Football Association due to favoritism.
“Every human being always tries to favor his team members and players. If these players are not fit and they go to World Cup, they can sell these players. So they will always favor their players.
“We need an independent GFA. I don’t know why they allow only football people to administer the Ghana football association or become the GFA president. I don’t subscribe to it," he added.
Inaki and Nico both play for Spanish La Liga side Atletico Bilbao.
