Former Black Stars midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, has stated that the current crop of Black Stars players have great quality but experience will be an issue in the World Cup.
In the current squad, only Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have participated in a World Cup match for Ghana which took place in Brazil in 2014.
Agyemang-Badu notes that this will not help the team in their cause to make history in Qatar.
“I have been saying this and I will say it again, 2022 we have quality players. Comparing our team 2014 to this one I think the only thing I will say is ours had well-experienced players.
“We had the likes of Kevin Prince Boateng, Michael Essien, Sulley Ali Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Andre Ayew, Kwadwo Asamoah, Harrison Afful, myself so you could see there was a lot of experience,” Emmanuel Agyemang Badu told Radio Gold Talk Sport in an interview.
The Great Olympics midfield dynamo added, “We had tasted the African Cup, we had tasted a lot of high profile games like England national team, like Brazil and other high profile games like the qualifiers so looking at 2022, yes we have good quality but a lot of inexperience.
“In the aspect that, most of them this is the first time they are going to taste the national team jersey especially.
“And they haven’t played qualifiers, they haven’t played in the AFCON Cup, they haven’t played in these high profile games so, inexperience wise yes but this team has qualities.”
Ghana have been drawn in Group H with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
