Former Ghana striker, Prince Tagoe has called for Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng to be invited to the Black Stars for World Cup 2022 playoff against Nigeria.
According to the Ex-Hearts of Oak goal poacher, coach Otto Addo will need experienced players in his team who have played at such a crucial stage before and believe the two aforementioned players fit that category.
“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.
Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng have been out of the Black Stars since 2014 after they were booted out of the team’s camp over indiscipline behaviors during the World Cup in Brazil.
And with Otto Addo expected to announce his squad latest by early next week for the crucial games later this month, many have been calling for the two players to be invited following their performances for their both clubs.
Ghana will host Nigeria on March 25, 2022 before the reverse fixture at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on March 29.
