There Is Real Talent In Ghana -Le Roy

Claude Le Roy has declared that football is ready to explode in Ghana because it is a country in which there is great natural talent and determination.

French-born Le Roy is a coach who has great experience of African football, having guided Senegal, Cameroon and the Black Stars amongst others over a period of 23 years. Now in the Gulf with Oman, he continues to study African football hard.

Picking out Asamoah Gyan, Kwadwo Asamoah, Andre Ayew and Anthony Annan as the “great players” from the team that battled so well in the Africa Cup of Nations, Le Roy believes Ghana can expect great success in the future as they were without some of their most renowned players in Angola.

“I always thought they had a team who could go far in the World Cup,” he told L’Equipe. “But they’ll have to be careful that their young players don’t start to think it will happen just because they won the Under-20 World Cup.

“Ghana is a country where there is talent, where some schools of football are not slave markets, where it works really well with a professional freedom. These are real football schools.”

The Black Stars will compete in Group D along with Germany, Australia and Serbia in South Africa this summer.
