Former Ghana defender Sam Johnson has called on Ghanaians to cool down on their expectations of the Black Stars winning the next Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars of Ghana have not won any major trophy since 1982 despite coming close to winning it on three occasions,
The Black Stars played in the finals of the AFCON in 1992, 2010 and 2015 but lost all games despiting putting in good effort to end the country’s trophy drought.
But Johnson who played for the four-time African champions between 1992-2003, wants fans of the Black Stars to mitigate their expectations.
”The COVID-19 has rendered the players inactive. So there is no need for us to put pressure on the team,” he told Hello FM in Kumasi.
”But all the same, we have to do our best in this current situation. We should not relax and accept any outcome.
”However, I think we shouldn’t pressure them much to win at all cost. But in everything, there’s a good side.
”We just have to hope the players pick up early.”
