Owner of King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Grusah has opened up on his opinion about Dreams FC’s Philemon Baffour for getting a call up for the pre-AFCON preparations with the Black Stars of Ghana in Qatar.
According to the veteran football administrator, the youngster deserves to be on the team and there should be no tags depicting him as a player for the GFA president.
Since his first invitation into the Black Stars during the AFCON and the World Cup qualifiers the Dreams FC youngster is yet to kick a ball with the team.
Speaking to Akoma 87.9 Fm insists that Dreams FC’s defender Philemon Baffour merit his call up into the Black Stars.
“He is the coach and knows the kind of players that can help him win the trophy, though I suggested Frank Acheampong to the technical team because he’s currently doing well in China but the coach feels he’s not needed now, so I’m only hoping all goes well so we win the Afcon this time.
“For Philemon Baffour, I have watched him severally, he’s a great player, and for Milo, nobody can influence him with selections, so I’m pretty sure he earned the call up based on merit and not because of the affiliation of Dreams FC to Kurt. For those complaining about him not getting selection during matchdays, is he the only player who sits on the bench? There are many players in similar situations, he will get his opportunity one day.
“For Kotoko supporters who are furious with the call-up, they have no basis, they are not the only team performing well in the league, or do they want Milo to call their two in-form Cameroonian strikers?”. He ended.
