Head Coach of the Black Stars, Kwesi Appiah believes the Senior National team does not solely depend on one player so there is a need for substitution at any time if players are not playing to instructions or there is a need to change a game plan.
�Most of the time you go into a game and put some players out there to perform. If for some reason you think you want to make a change to improve the game, it is always good that you do it,� he said.
According to Coach Appiah, the AC Milan star is undoubtedly a phenomenal player by all standards but he needed to beef up the team so Ghana could keep hold to its lead.
�Sulley is a good player and he is doing well. I changed him because I thought there were some better players who have been on the bench so I gave them the opportunity to see what they can also do,� the Black Stars coach said in a post-game interview.
