A Ghanaian football fan has blasted ex Black Star player Samuel Osei Kuffour for his "shameless" comment on coach Ibrahim Tanko and the national under 23 team.

The Bayern Munich legend is reported to have described Tanko's team at the 2019 African U23 Cup of nation as the "worst he has ever seen" following their failure to make it to the 2020 Olympics.

But his comment has triggered a response from Tafo Kofi Nti, who has rather jumped to the diffense of  coach Tanko.

He believes Kuffour, who served under the erstwhile Normalisation Committee, is talking out of malice, knowing very well the plethora of challenges the Black Mateors went through even before they could qualify to Egypt.

In a social media reaction cited by Ghanaguardian.com, Nti, who claims his younger brother was part of the team, described Osei Kuffour's comment as clownish, warning him to avoid making further "useless talks".

"This is someone who let the whole Ghana down at the 2006 World Cup. was he described as the worse defender ever?," he quizzed.

In his reaction, he questioned Osei Kuffour's performance at the Normalisation Committee, urging him to come out and defend his poor output when he got the opportunity.

He believes Kuffour's unsavory comment was a deliberate attempt to undermine Tanko's effort amid all the administrative challenges and further urged the Professional Football Associated PFA to deal with the former Black Star defender whose howler caused Ghana to be defeated by Italy in the 2006 world Cup.

Sammy Kuffour is a shameless commentator

I just listened to an audio of an interview Sammy Kuffour had in which he's describing the U23 as the worse he's ever seen. I was shocked to have heard that from someone like Kuffour. For someone who has played football before and is respected, I don't think this should be coming from u. In any case, how did the team become worse?
Is it for qualifying to the U23 AFCON or getting to the semi finals of the tournament?

I think we allow some people to just make flat comments and go with it without asking further comments. Where was Sammy Kuffour when the team was preparing for the tournament? Was he not in charge of the whole Ghana football as a member of the NC? What did he do to stop the team from.using taxis to travel to the airport ahead of their game against Algeria? He had the power. What did he do? Such a shameless comment must not be coming from someone like him.

Many people have been saying ex-players must be given the chance to be in football management but Kuffour's poor output in the NC and his shameful condemnation of teams show that not just anyone should be given that chance.

This is someone who let the whole Ghana down at the 2006 World Cup. Was he described as the worse defender ever? Useless talks like this.

I'm watching what the PFAG will do to Kuffour for me to see they have balls. U can't make such useless comments and expect players to still respect u and be in the same body with u. I'm looking forward to seeing what Anthony Baffoe will do. We're all watching.

Even the qualification bonus of the team was paid under the current FA. U and your useless NC couldn't handle that, yet u are bold enough to say a team that got to the semi finals of a tournament is the worse you have ever seen. In terms of what Kuffour?

When was the last time Ghana even qualified to take part in the tournament? So how do they become worse?

Nsemhunu nkoaaaaa!!
