“We the players understand that we let the players down at this point in time but we also want them to know that we were fighting for them and it did not go well.” We need them to support us in the next game and then we will see what happens.”
Atsu also referred to the bad form of the players as just a bad phase the team was going through and not lack of passion or desire.
“I do not believe what people think of us is true. We are ready to fight for the nation bad the Black Stars are just going through a bad phase. In life there are bad and good moments and this a bad moment the Black Stars are going through. “We are still fighting to let things happen”
