No Black Stars player could challenge my decision on penalty kick - Stephen Appiah


Former Ghana captain, Stephen Appiah  Former Ghana captain, Stephen Appiah has revealed that no player in the Black Stars could ever challenge his decision to take a penalty kick during his time with the national team.

Contrary to the reports, the former Fenerbahçe and Udinese star who qualified the country to it first World Cup appearance in Germany has denied the said reports insisting none of his teammates could ever challenge his decision to take a penalty during games.

“No player in the Black Stars could take the ball from me when I had made a decision to take a penalty kick, there was absolutely no player, never!.

"Everybody will stand aside as soon as I made a decision to take a penalty kick,” he told GTV.

Appiah capped 67 times for the country.
