Ghana International, Kevin-Prince Boateng, has attributed the Black Stars historic feat at the 2010 World Cup to the selfless attitude of the senior players including Stephen Appiah.

Ghana, participating in its second World Cup,  meandered its way through to the Quarter-Finals and were on the verge of becoming the first nation on the continent to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Boateng – a member of the Black Stars at the 2010 World Cup, recounting the team’s success at the tournament,  stated the team’s success was as a result of the sacrifices of some senior players.

“In 2014, our squad was must stronger but in 2010, we were a team and we played as a team,” Boateng said.

“People accepted to be on the bench and big players like Stephen Appiah who knew that it was time for the younger players to play accepted the decision and supported them.

“They were there supporting us even though they were not playing regularly and that’s what the current Black Stars needed but they don’t have the spirit and togetherness,“ he added.
