Gerald Asamoah has waded into the argument of courting foreign-born players into the Black Stars. With less than two months left to start the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ghanaians have been left divided over the potential inclusion of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketiah to the Black Stars for the tournament.Although both players and some in the diaspora are yet to show interest in playing for Ghana, it is reported that the FA has engaged a couple of them.In recent times, Derrick Kohn and Patric Pffeifer switched nationalities to play for the Black Stars.And according to Asamoah, the process could become easier for the FA if they move to these players at a younger age.“We are waiting to see Kevin Prince Boateng here, and we go for him or Hudson-Odoi, and they say no we don't want to come because they didn't see how Ghanaians fought for them when they were young,” Asamoah told 3 Sports.“The British people did everything for them, and now they are done. They are now good players, and we want them. You need to start in the youth teams. You need to go there.“You don't need to go out. You...

Former Germany international, Gerald Asamoah believes Ghana's biggest weakness is in its defence ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. The four-time African champions will be embarking on their fifth World Cup in June, but the team has been without a win since beating Comoros in the final qualifier in Accra last year.The Black Stars have conceded ten goals in their last four friendlies, including a 5-1 defeat to Austria last month, leading to the sacking of Otto Add as coach of the national team.Former Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has been appointed as replacement for the ex-Ghana midfielder.Ahead of Queiroz's first assignment as Ghana coach, Asamoah pointed out that the Black Stars have a leaky defence, and that should be a priority for the Portuguese trainer."What are we good in? Are we good in defending or offensive game? We are really good in offensive games, so we need to work on our offence, so we need to work on our defensive play," Asamoah told 3 Sports."Keeping the defence is one of the important things you can do as a coach."The Black Stars will face World Cup co-hosts Mexico in...

L'attaccante del Santos è stato protagonista di un episodio di tensione dopo il pareggio col Recoleta in Copa Sudamericana

Inter Miami's Guillermo Hoyos 'grateful' to coach Lionel Messi again espn.in

Some Santos fans were involved in an unfriendly exchange with Neymar. Santos are having serious trouble getting positive results this season, both domestically and continentally. In that context, Neymar was involved in a tense argument with some fans, who demanded a greater level of commitment to the club. This Tuesday, Santos drew 1-1 against Recoleta FC in the Copa Sudamericana group stage and, after the final whistle, some people at Urbano Caldeira Stadium booed the Brazilian forward, who responded with gestures asking them to be quiet. “I’m going to give you your minute of fame. Am I spoiled? I’m giving absolutely everything out here and you don’t respect that,” Ney said to one of the fans who criticized him. He then took aim at the fan’s physical appearance: “You should train more! You’re getting a little chubby!” A few minutes after that tense exchange, Neymar gave an interview to ESPN in which he addressed his confrontation with the fans in the stands. “I understand fans who criticize our play, but when it becomes personal and they attack me in a different way, I can’t accept it,” he said. Neymar Junior of Santos. “I can’t accept it because I’m a very consistent guy. I give my life for soccer and for this club. I even do more than I should, so they can’t treat me like this,” added the 34-year-old star. “I’m not saying they shouldn’t criticize my performances on the field, but I don’t accept criticism for what I do off it.” Santos struggling to find direction The fans’ animosity toward Neymar, while surprising, is understandable given that the team’s recent results have fallen well short of expectations. After avoiding relegation in the final matches of last year, they entered this season with hopes of competing for trophies, but so far that has not been the case. In the Brazilian Serie A, Santos are in 15th place with just three wins in 11 matches, only three points clear of the relegation zone. Their Copa Sudamericana campaign has also been underwhelming: they lost their opener against Deportivo Cuenca and drew their second match against Recoleta FC, leaving them at the bottom of Group D for now. Neymar needs to stand out at Santos Santos’ slow start to the season certainly does not help Neymar. He has two months to try to show Carlo Ancelotti that he is in peak physical and competitive condition to be part of the 26-man roster that will represent Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Individually, however, he has shown consistent form. So far in 2026, Ney has recorded eight appearances for Santos, with seven goal contributions (four goals and three assists). Those are solid numbers, especially considering the difficult team context, which has included a recent coaching change.
