The veteran sports journalist has been predicting some of the loses of Ghana and he says things were not done right when the Black Stars were losing and even missed the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
He feels Otto Addo should be given a free hand to work closely with the technical staff headed by Coach Schifer and assisted by Coach John Paintsil, Desmond Ofei and Fatau Dauda.
He also thinks the involvement of old stars like Stephen Appiah and Asamoah Gyan in psyching the players is very essential and important.

“If and when the right things are done the whole nation will support the Black Stars and they will beat everyone” he expressed.
