Former Black Stars and Asante Kotoko shot-stopper Joe Karl has asserted that Ghana has not shown much seriousness in investing in the quality of keepers for our senior national team.
He disclosed to Isaac Wallace Worlanyo that we do not invite our goalkeepers on time to train for our games.
He said one other major challenge affecting our goalkeepers is the lack of communication.
Speaking on Rainbow Sports he said our coaches must take steps to invite players on time, prepare them for the games.
He said Ghana has not performed as expected because we do not start our preparations on time especially with the goalkeepers.
He was also of the view that we must invite more local players who have what it takes to join the team and invite the foreign-based ones on merit, prepare them, then select the best ones for the team.
Joe Karl said you cannot wait and invite the foreign-based players two weeks to the tournament for them to come and play.
“Inviting foreign-based players two weeks to the tournament is terrible and not effective. I will advise them to take steps in inviting our players on time, prepare them and ensure that we get the best materials for the team”.
“Our preparation for the tournament is not the best. We need more of the local players and blend them with the foreign-based players,” he added.
