“If Justice Blay cannot play for the Black Stars, then he is not fit to be an Asante Kotoko player” – Charles Taylor

Former Ghanaian international, Charles Taylor has made a bold statement about the current state of Ghana’s national team, the Black Stars, and the exclusion of top-performing local players like Justice Blay and many others.

“If Justice Blay cannot play for the Black Stars, then he is not fit to be an Asante Kotoko player. This is because Kotoko is bigger than the Black Stars.”

He pointed out that Kotoko players, who play almost every weekend in the Ghana Premier League, are in peak physical condition, unlike many of the foreign-based Black Stars players who do not always get regular playing time with their respective clubs.

He continued to criticize the bias within the GFA board and selection of the Blackstars. Charles Taylor hoped the future would be brighter for local players to represent the senior team.
