Ghanaian football legend Mohammed Polo has expressed his disappointment with Chris Hughton, the head coach of Ghana's senior national team, for failing to offer technical advice to Ghana's U-23 team during the AFCON U-23 tournament held in Morocco.
Polo's remarks come in the wake of Ghana's elimination from the tournament at the group stage.
In their opening match, Ghana secured a narrow 3-2 victory over Congo. However, their triumph was short-lived as they faced a devastating 5-1 defeat at the hands of the tournament hosts, Morocco.
Needing a win against Guinea to advance further, the Ghanaian team settled for a 1-1 draw, ultimately dashing their hopes of qualifying for the Olympic Games for the first time in 19 years.
Speaking on Radio Gold, Polo said: “It is not about talking too much, football is about reading what you are watching and what is going to happen and you are in charge.
“Fortunately all the gurus are there, our up and coming coaches who we think will be the future coaches including the current coach of the Black Stars.
“You saw the Morocco and Guinea game, it was difficult for Morocco to beat Guinea so it means the Guineans are a formidable side.
“We went into our second match against Morocco and Morocco whitewashed us, did Morocco whitewash Guinea?”
