Former Sekondi Hasacaas coach, Joseph De-Graft Johnson has called on Ghana Black Stars coach, Avram Grant to learn how to be tolerant with criticisms from Ghanaians.
Grant who has had stints with English Premier League sides, Chelsea and Portsmouth has found life in managing Ghana a tough task to handle as he continually battles the Ghanaian media who have criticized his tactics and team selections.
Mozambique held the Black Stars to a goalless drawn game at the Estadio do Zimpeto in an African Cup of nations qualifier for Gabon 2017 and this got the media question why Ghana will fail to do the double over the minnows and this got the Israeli furious and he used the ‘bulls**t’ word to refer to the media and Ghanaians as a whole.
Johnson who knows how vocal and passionate football fans can be has offered advise to the ex-Chelsea boss saying, “Ghanaians are not talking too much, they can talk as much as they like in this democratic world and this is the beauty of the ‘beautiful game – football’.
Ghanaians should be allowed to share their opinion and that comes along with the package of a national team head coach.”
“You (as a coach) must be able to absorb a lot of varied opinions as a coach as long as it is not derogatory but in the end your opinion (performance on the team) matters,” he added.
