Former TSG Hoffenheim attacker, Prince Tagoe has called for the inclusion of ‘bad boys’ Sulley Ali Muntari and Kevin-Prince Tagoe into the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria.
The former Ghana striker stated that Ghana needs experienced players such as Muntari and Prince Boateng to beat Nigeria and has for that matter asked the Black Stars technical handlers to include the two players.
Muntari and Boateng were thrown out of Black Stars camp during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil due to indiscipline and have since not been called up for national team duty.
“Every coach has his strategy but I don’t know that of Otto Addo. [But] If I were to be the coach of the Black Stars, I will just keep Sulley Muntari in the team for a certain reason. Maybe, there might be some difficulties in the course of the game where Muntari’s services will be needed,” Tagoe told Angel TV.
“I believe in him and knows what he can do. Inviting Muntari back into the Black Stars goes beyond footballing reasons.”
“Kevin-Prince Boateng is one player who must be included in the Black Stars for the Nigeria game, maybe Ghanaians will not understand but I think it is about time we hand him a call up”
“I believe there will not be too much changes in the call up for the game. To me, Kevin can play for the national team regardless of his age. The physicality in the German league is not easy, so if he is able to play there, I think he can play for Ghana” he added.
Ghana takes on Nigeria in Cape Coast on March 25 before the return leg in Abuja four days later.
