Former Ghana international Han Adu Sarpei has asked Ghanaians to stop drawing comparisons between the Black Stars 2010 squad and the current crop of players.
Following their qualification for the 2026 World Cup, many Ghanaians have raised expectations for the current team, expecting them to go past the height reached in 2010.
However, Adu Sarpei, who was part of the quarterfinal team in South Africa, believes these are two distinct teams.
"Don’t compare the 2010 squad to this current one. They are two completely different teams," he said.
"We had more confidence, more experience and bigger personalities in the team than we do now. We had also played together for about three or four years before that World Cup.
"Now it’s different. New players are coming in, there are issues involving the coaching situation and the players, and they didn’t go to the Nations Cup. There are so many things happening now, so it’s not easy for the players."
Ghana will face Panama, England and Croatia in Group L when the tournament kicks off on June 11.
