Black Stars winger Joseph Paintsil has apologized to Ghanaians for the poor showing of the team at the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Cote D’Ivoire.
The Genk player said Ghanaians do not deserve the shambolic display by the Black Stars and it'll be a learning experience for the team.
In a post on X, Painstil apologized for not meeting the expectations of the country.
Sincere apologies to the good people of Ghana. We are truly sorry for not meeting your expectations. Important lessons to take away from this unforgettable experience”, he said.
Earlier today, Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku issued a similar apology to the nation for the Nations Cup debacle.
Djiku expressed deep regret for how events unfolded in Ivory Coast and admitted that the pain and agony inflicted on Ghanaians cannot be lessened by his apology.
