Tony Yeboah urges Ghanaian strikers to focus on individual training

*

Former national team striker Tony Yeboah has told Pravda Sports on 93.5 FM that the nation can only produce high profile strikers of his calibre if young strikers focus on intensifying their individual training methods to sharpen their goal scoring instincts.

Yeboah, revered as one of Ghana’s best strikers in the last 22 years, believes young Ghanaian strikers can improve if only they employ more dedication to their individual training methods.

“Before we can get a good striker, it won’t be easy. It demands a lot of dedication, hard work, discipline and commitment. Now, this is a lesson for the young strikers. They have to work very hard because in modern football, when you don't work hard, when you don't train hard it will be tough for you,” Tony Yeboah told Pravda Radio in Accra.

He explained: “Maybe, that is the reason why at the moment we don’t produce the top strikers.”

The former Leeds United player’s outstanding volley against Liverpool 17 years ago has been shortlisted amongst the best 10 goals in the history of the English Premier League. The public will vote on the Best Goal award which also has goals from Matt Le Tissier, David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Paolo di Canio, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney in the running.
