Adebayor vents at the Black Stars
Togolese football legend, Emmanuel Adebayor, who was a guest pundit with BBC's George Addo Jr. couldn't hide his frustrations with the Ghanaian team.
According to the former Arsenal player, the Black Stars knew "they had their destiny in their hand; they knew this was a key game for their country."
However, "they played with no motivation, communication like they're just here for fun", the Togolese national added as he expressed his disappointment to the BBC.
The team managed only two points at the AFCON group stage and is counting on a magical turnaround after the last round of group games.
Adebayor thinks the best decision for the Black stars is to return home. In a video posted by George Addo Jr, the veteran opined, "Let's put things into perspective; let's say Ghana qualifies what are they going to do in the next stage? There is no point."
Netizens hail Adebayor for his honest remarks about the Black Stars

Spot on. There’s actually no point in qualifying. Every team on this planet seems to be better and want it more than us
@Boahencollins9 added:
No lies there. I kept saying it yesterday. If we needed two penalties to score against Mozambique, then we shouldn’t worry ourselves qualifying.
Adebayor hails Mohammed Kudus
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Adebayor had praised Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus after his explosive man-of-the-match performance during the Black Stars' game against Egypt.
The Togolese national believes the Ghanaian youngster is a potential candidate for the Ballon d'Or and promised to assist him in achieving that goal.
