Christian Atsu believes the Black Stars deserve every criticism thrown at them by the public for their inability to win any trophy for the country.
The West African country has not won a major international trophy since winning the 1982 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] despite playing in the 1992, 2010 and 2015 finals.
The team’s inability to win any trophy led to the public failing to show up during Black Stars games.
Atsu, who has been a key member of the team since making his debut in 2012, speaking in an interview, believes the team deserves all the backlash it has received for its inability to win silverware.
