BRING BACK COLT FOOTBALL - YUSIF CHIBSAH






Former Asante Kotoko and Ghana Black Stars midfielder Yusif Chibsah is calling for football authorities to revive colt football which now seem ineffective in the country.
 
“It is time we go back to revive juvenile football because of the impact it has made in the development of Ghana football. We have to give critical attention to it to revive it.”

It is a known fact that the absence of colt football has gone a long way to affect various Ghanaian national teams negatively because of the magnitude of talents the nation has unearthed through the juvenile league.

“Colt football should be a nationwide plan with proper structures where we unearth several talents from every part of the country,” Chibsah added. 

The very skillful retired midfielder however does not believe the academies that are springing up each year will be able to replace colt football.

It remains to be seen the policies Ghana Football Association will bring on board to revive the dead colt league when football finally return after Covid19 pandemic.

FELIX ANNAN: I WILL FIGHT FOR MY POSITION AT KOTOKO


Goalkeeper and captain of Asante Kotoko Felix Annan has admitted as far as he is under contract at the fabulous club, he will always fight for his position in the team.

Annan who has been in sterling form the last three years in the Ghanaian league has seen himself relegated to the bench of Kotoko this season with Kwame Baah taking his place.

The talented shot-stopper has only had five games to play this season and many fans have asserted his lack of playing time to a dip in form whiles others attribute it to his decision to get married in the middle of the season which they presume didn’t go well with his coach Maxwell Konadu.

Speaking on NewDay Tv, the Kotoko goalie said he has no regrets over that decision as his wedding was planned way ahead of the start of the 2019/20 season.

“I won’t regret today or tomorrow for my wedding, I arranged for my wedding before even the start of the league. I have good relationship with Maxwell Konadu and Kwame Baah.”

Felix Annan who earned a place in the Black Stars 2019 AFCON squad will look to fight his way back to the national team with playing time at Kotoko being the only guarantee.
