Yaw Yeboah claims he was misquoted over 'CK Akonnor told me I'm not a Black Stars material'

Spain-based midfielder has claimed that he was misquoted over quotes he said new national team coach CK Akonnor told him he was not a Black Stars material.

"I need to clarify things. People got me wrong. I never said coach C.K Akonnor did not see me as Black Stars material,'' the on loan Celta Vigo B player told Daily Graphic.

''What I meant was that in that particular call-up for the Sudan game, he did not see me to be ready for it.

''Coach Akonnor has never told me I am not Black Stars material.''

"The senior national team is the dream of everyone but everything lies on the coach; he chooses players who are ready for every game.''

Yeboah, the former Ghana U23 captain, explains he has a good relationship with Akonnor during his days at Right To Dream Academy.

In June 2019, the talented midfielder played his first Black Stars match in friendly against Namibia.

"CK Akonnor is a great coach and he is like a father to me. He coached me during my formative years at Right to Dream Academy and he knows me so well. When the time is due, he will call me," he added. Read Full Story
