Kudus cheeky response to Appiah Stadium
A late goal from Milson condemned Otto Addo’s side to their first defeat at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium since 2000 (24 years ago) when they were beaten by South Africa as hosts of the AFCON that year.
While leaving the Prempeh I International Airport, Appiah Stadium intercepted the team and had some words for some of the players.
“Jordan Ayew you are a very good footballer but you don’t smile often. You need to start smiling more often,” the popular NDC supporter said.
He also criticised Kudus, saying: “You score whenever you play for your club abroad but when you play for Ghana, you don’t score.”
