One of the best coaching brains in Ghana Ben Koufie has lashed out at coach Herbert Addo insisting he did not take the country's best players to the African Nations Championship (CHAN).
The local Black Stars made a disastrous outing at the tournament in Sudan, crashing out in the first round of the group comprising South Africa, Zimbabwe and Niger.
In a veiled attack on Addo, Kouffie, a member of the Technical Study Group (TSG) for the CHAN, told the GNA in Sudan that the players are no where near the best in the country's Premier League.
"They cannot claim to be the best in Ghana neither do I think that they are. I cannot tell exactly what went wrong with the team but certainly these are not the best in Ghana," Koufie told GNA Sports in Khartoum.
"I watched two games and I was not impressed with their output. They were not playing like Ghanaians. We have a brand of football; entertaining, aggression and imagination but they never exhibited any of such."
The owner of Berekum Arsenal, Yakubu Moro, has called for a probe into the quality of player taken to the tournament insisting some club owners influenced the coach.
