Ex-Ghana international Sulley Muntari has criticised Black Stars players for using social media sites like TikTok to practise for games.
He claims that young athletes must be careful when using social media in order to avoid being sidetracked before a game.
In an interview with 3Sports, Muntari stated that after giving their all on the field, players are free to express themselves as they like on social media.
“I won’t say it’s bad, but it’s the time… they can still do it but then it’s the preparation that you can direct them in the right way,” Muntari said.
“You can’t allow a little kid to be in the changing room using Tiktok whiles you’re getting ready to go on the field and warm up and go play a really important game that maybe 30 million people are waiting to watch and their heart and hope is on you.”
He added: “You can do it in a way that you can do your TikTok after the game because then you instil that in his mind that whatever you do here goes with you.
“So by doing that, putting them in the right environment, you run when its 90 minutes, you can go do your Tiktok, party, chill but when it comes to playing you really have to dedicate yourself in there.”
The 38-year-old football player announced his retirement last week after nearly 20 years as a professional.
Muntari, whose career began with Ghana Premier League team Liberty Professionals, has had a career filled with trophies over the past two decades.
