Former Ghana international Asamoah Gyan has predicted the Black Stars can dominate the game again if 80 percent of the current squad are maintained.
The Black Stars has underperformed in recent times, suffering group stage elimination in the previous two Africa Cup of Nations.
Meanwhile, the team ended their winless run this year following back-to-back wins over Mali and Central Africa Republic in early June.
Ghana inflicted a 2-1 away win over the Eagles in Bamako before returning to Kumasi to beat Central Africa Republic 4-3 at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Speaking on UTV, Gyan, who is the all-time topscorer of Ghana predicted the Black Stars can return to where it belongs if 80 percent of the current squad are maintained for at least five-years.
“The team has given us hope in their last two games. The important thing is the win and nothing else. They have raised the spirit high. I will urge Ghanaians to support the team but what matters most is consistency”
“We should take it game by game and make sure we win. We have quality. It is a young team which is a new generation of the Black Stars. You could see none of the new players have played more than 30 games and that tells you it’s a new generation”
“We should limit our expectations and not dwell in the past. Let forget about the past (what we did) and focus on this team. We should build them to a certain level. We are building team so we should not be thinking of winning AFCON trophies, if we win it’s a plus”
“In five years’ time, if we are able to maintain 80% of this team they can dominate. It should be a five-year project and I’m sure they can deliver”
