Prince Tagoe counsels Black Stars players to avoid selfishness

Former Ghana striker Prince Tagoe has counseled the Black Stars players to avoid selfishness in order to make an impact at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The West African powerhouse is returning to the global showpiece after missing out in Russia in 2018, where France emerged as the winner.

Ghana has been housed in Group H at the Mundial against Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea.

The West African powerhouse will open its World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on Uruguay and South Korea respectively.

According to Tagoe, the Black Stars can only do better at the Mundial if players guide against selfishness.

“We have the qualities [but] it’s just the matter of making sure those who are playing and having more time, they are fit for the tournament.

“It’s going to come from the selection and the decision from the coach because individually I think we have the qualities.

“And one good thing is that we are not the favorite but that is when we can surprise people.

“So if the team is able to come together and they are not going to be selfish like I want to score and be known and they are going to work as a team, I think we can do something.” Prince Tagoe told Radio Gold Talk Sport.

The biggest soccer Mundial has been scheduled for November and December this year, with 32 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in Qatar.
