Stars coach Appiah warns players against indiscipline

Accra, Oct. 23, GNA - Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah has warned players against any form of indiscipline as the team prepares for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.     The trainer served a reminder to his players in the wake of reported acts of indiscipline exhibited by midfielder Andre Ayew during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi in Lilongwe two weeks ago.     In a statement signed by coach and copied to GNA Sports, Appiah said: “I wish to remind all players of the Black Stars that any act of indiscipline will not be tolerated as we focus on preparing for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.”     The strong stand taken by the soft-spoken trainer is expected to bring down any snippet of indiscipline as the team prepares for the much sought fifth Africa Cup of Nations title next year in South Africa.     On Ayew’s apology, which came barely 48-hours to the ultimatum, the coach noted: “I have received the letter of apology sent by Black Stars midfielder Andre Ayew.     “I wish to state clearly that I requested Andre Ayew to apologise to the technical team and his team-mates over his reaction when he was substituted during the match against Malawi.  “We tried to resolve the matter internally after the game at a meeting but it yielded no results which resulted in my ultimatum. I have accepted Andre Ayew's apology in good faith.”     GNA   ... Read Full Story
