I won't organize press conference to justify call-ups - Kwesi Appiah

Coach of the Black Stars Kwasi Appiah says it is irrelevant to hold press conferences and explain his choice of selection of players to the senior national team.

There have been calls from a lot of quarters more especially those who disagree with how national team call ups are done that coach's should explain reasons for handing out certain call-ups and reasons behind leaving certain players out.

"I have fielded this questions on numerous occasions from people but whether its me or any other person as a national team coach if you organize a press conference to explain reasons why you did not call player A or B you may be a liar at some point because you cant keep on repeating same thing every time."

He said that the pool of talents for the national team is so big that we can't give call ups to only a handful of people.

"The national team is not like a club side where you have like only 25 players with the national team the talent pool to call is huge compared to a club side."

"Most of the time we try to maintain the respect players have for us but maybe after a game or before a game a press conference can be done but not for call ups." he said.
