Black Stars midfield dynamo, Mubarak Wakaso has revealed why he couldn't control his tears following Ghana's exit from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Ghana, who failed to make it to the final four as usual suffered early elimination in the 32nd edition of Africa's prestigious tournament losing 5:4 on penalties to the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia at round 16.
Following the shocking exit, the 29-year-old was seen shedding tears uncontrollably.
“Sometimes people understand what we the players want,” he told Angel TV in an interview.
“We were confident of winning the trophy ahead of the tournament but our exit was a shock to me.
“The players gave everything on the pitch but we failed to progress against Tunisia.
“For me, I couldn’t believe it because I wasn’t expecting that to happen and the players couldn’t believe it as well,” he added.
Despite Ghana exiting from the tournament, the 29-year-old was named Man of the Match.
Wakaso currently plays for Chinese Super League side, Jiangsu Suning.
