Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director Henry Asante Twum has praised Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare for his role in helping local players adapt to the national team environment.

Asante Twum believes the experience of playing alongside established Black Stars players is invaluable to locally based players earning opportunities with the senior national team.

He singled out Asare for his efforts in guiding and encouraging new players, helping them settle into the squad and overcome the pressure of representing Ghana.

“Benjamin Asare has been truly helpful, trying to calm them, trying to urge them, trying to advise them, share a few words with them so that they are not overawed,” he said.

He also mentioned Isaac Afo as one of the players who has used his experience with the national team to support the newcomers, including Hamzata, Emmanuel Arnaud and H.E.

According to Asante Twum, the opportunity to train and interact with experienced players such as Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Mohammed Salisu, Gideon Mensah and Thomas Partey offers valuable lessons that could benefit the newcomers throughout their careers.

He added that exposure to the team environment and learning from senior players should motivate the locally based players to work harder and improve their performances.
