‘Anas destroyed our football, we need Nyantakyi back” – Ghanaians react to Ghana’s AFCON exit

A section of Ghanaians believes the work by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on Kwesi Nyantakyi dubbed ‘Number 12″ was the beginning of the decline in Ghana’s football fortunes.

According to them, Anas’s expose has done the local football more harm than good considering the recent performances of the Black Stars at the AFCON.

Comparing the tenure of Kwesi Nyantakyi to the current regime, many have intimated that the Black Stars performed well, players were selected on merits and the team won the hearts of Ghanaians.

On that front, many are calling for the head of Anas while they shower Nyantakyi with praises interlaced with fond memories.

‘We want Nyantaki back” – That’s the concerted cry of some Ghanaians following the abysmal performance of the Blacks Stars at the AFCON 2021 in Cameroon where they were booted out of the tournament at the group stages.
