Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton has made his disappointment clear to his players after the hapless performance against the United States in Wednesday’s 4-0 international friendly defeat.
According to sports journalist, Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo, the former Brighton and Hove Albion gave the players a “dress down” in the dressing room with the president of the Ghana Football Association present to witness it.
“I’ve never waited this long for an away team post-match press conference. Hughton has yet to show up here. Apparently, he’s in the dressing room with Kurt Okraku giving the players a dress down,” Fentuo, who’s covering the game, wrote on Twitter, before adding, “He should finish and come for his own at the presser!”
In Wednesday’s game, the USA took the in the 10th minute through Giovanni Reyna who pounced on a poor clearance before Christian Pulisic added the second from the spot following a Gideon Mensah penalty.
Florian Balogun was then gifted the third for the USA following another series of poor defending in the 22nd minute.
Ghana went down by four in the 39th minute through a well-worked indirect free kick that was converted by Reyna for his brace.
