Ex-Togolese Star Adebayor Says The Black Stars Lack of Motivation and Communication Cause of Their Exit

In a candid assessment, former Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor shared his views on Ghana's performance in the crucial AFCON group stage match against Mozambique. Adebayor expressed his belief that the Black Stars players lacked motivation, played without the required intensity, and displayed a concerning lack of communication, ultimately preventing Ghana from securing a victory that would have propelled them to the next stage of the competition.

Speaking to BBC journalist George Addo, the football icon highlighted the significance of the match for the country and expressed disappointment in the players' performance. According to Adebayor, the players seemed to approach the game without the necessary determination and focus, playing as if they were merely on the pitch for leisure rather than a crucial competition.

Ghana, aiming for advancement in the tournament, ended up in the third position on the Group B table after a drawn match with Mozambique. The stalemate left the Black Stars with two points after three games, raising concerns about their prospects in the ongoing AFCON campaign. Adebayor's critique sheds light on the high expectations surrounding the Ghanaian team and the need for a more spirited and purposeful approach in future matches.
