Just give me 20 minutes to play for Ghana Black Stars’ – Atinga pleads with Coach CK Akonnor

Former Hearts of Oak defender Vincent Atinga is pleading with Black Star coach CK Akonnor to give him a call up into the senior national team Ghana Black Stars to prove to Ghanaians what he got to offer in the team. The hardworking defender, currently plies his trade in the Kuwaiti top flight with Al Shabab SC. According to him, Coach CK Akonnor should just give him some small time to play and he will not regret inviting into the National team . “I don’t need ninety minutes in Black Stars. I don’t even need forty-five minutes. All I need is 20 minutes to prove something to Ghanaians,” he said. “I have given myself just 2 years to command regular position in Black Stars,” a confident Atingah told Kumasi-based media outlet Akoma 87.9 FM. The 26-year-old earned his first Black Stars call-up after the WAFU Cup competition in a World Cup qualifying game against Uganda but couldn’t play any role. Atingah will face stern competition from in-form Celta Vigo defender Joseph Aidoo, FC Metz skipper John Boye, Jonathan Mensah of Columbus Crew and Kassim Adams Nuhu for a slot in the heart of defense for the Black Stars. Ghana has penned a friendly against West Africa sides Mali set for next month. By: Gbordzor Promise

UEFA Scraps Goal Rule In Champions League And Europa League

UEFA has abolished the away goal rule in all club competitions from the 2021/22 season. Instead, ties that are still level after two matches will go to extra time and penalties. “The away goals rule has been an intrinsic part of UEFA competitions since it was introduced in 1965. However, the question of its abolition has been debated at various UEFA meetings over the last few years,” UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said. “Although there was no unanimity of views, many coaches, fans and other football stakeholders have questioned its fairness and have expressed a preference for the rule to be abolished.” He added: “The impact of the rule now runs counter to its original purpose as, in fact, it now dissuades home teams – especially in first legs – from attacking, because they fear conceding a goal that would give their opponents a crucial advantage. ”There is also criticism of the unfairness, especially in extra time, of obliging the home team to score twice when the away team h
