Former Ghana U-20 International Frank Andoh has said a combination of good and active experience players with the young talented ones will raise the standard of Ghana premier league.
According to the goalkeeper, this will help the young players to learn from the experience of the aged ones.
“It is about time we (Ghana) mixed both the good and active experience players with the young talented ones to raise the standard of Ghana premier league to a higher level”, he opines in an interview with ghanasportspage.com
The former Kessben FC safe hands also disclosed the once beautiful and interesting Ghana Premier League is gradually fading away because the system has failed to recognize the importance of playing an experienced player.
“Our once beautiful and interesting Ghana Premier League is gradually fading away because the people have failed to recognize and understand the importance of playing active experience players with the young talents”,
“I had the opportunity to play with old and experienced players like Yaw Owusu, Abubakari Kankani, James Boateng, George Owu, Emmanuel Osei Kuffour, etc. which gave me a lot of confidence and experience to overcome pressure”, he said
The former Ashantigold SC player also advises, instead of shielding the old experience active legs out of the game, why not allow the young ones to learn from them.
“instead of shielding the old experience active legs out of the game, why not allow the young ones to learn from them, a lot of African leagues like Nigeria, South Africa, etc. are progressing because they keep their old active and experience with the young boys”,
“Most of our players whom we thought were aged out are the ones helping these top African leagues to progress and win trophies even against us”, he added.
