Frimpong Manso praises CK Akonnor
Asante Kotoko legend, Frimpong Manso has commended the technical handlers of the Black Stars for inviting three players from the U-20 AFCON winning team to the Black Stars.
The trio includes Ibrahim Danlad of Asante Kotoko, Philemon Baffuor of Dreams FC and Fatawu Issahaku, a player of Division One side Steadfast FC.
Ghana are currently preparing to play South Africa and Sao Tome in the final round of qualifiers on March 25 and 28 of this month.
Manso believes the invitation will be a good experience for the young players and lauded C.K Akunnor and his team for taking a bold decision.
“If you get a call up it doesn’t mean you are going to play, it is still part of the learning process. They’ve been drafted into the national team, now they are going to meet with very experienced players and from there they will learn a lot from the training sessions, off the pitch and what goes on at the highest level.
The Black Stars will leave the shores of the country today for the game against the Bafana Bafana at the FNB Stadium before hosting Sao Tome at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Black Stars sit at the top of Group C with 9 points after four games are in search of a ticket to the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
