Black Starlets coach Samuel Paa Kwesi Fabin has hit out Ghanaians for incessant attacks against his captain, Eric Ayiah in the ongoing 2017 U-17 World Cup.

The striker has made a substantial impact at the U-17 World Cup in India, scoring 3 goals in 4 games for Ghana. Ayiah’s profligacy in front of goal has been on the lips of many a follower of the team’s progress.

The Charity FC forward showed much potentials during Ghana’s participation at this year’s Under 17 Afcon in Gabon, guiding the team to silver medal feat.

But the gaffer sees otherwise about his top player who is only two goals away from the current top scorer of the tournament, Amine Gouiri.

“What do they know about him to criticize him, he is our skipper and he is doing well,” Fabin told starrsportsgh.com

He added: “What do they want him to do again, the guy has scored three goals and is doing very well, I don’t even know what else they want from him.”

Eric Ayiah will lead the Black Starlets again when they meet another African opponent in Mali at the quarterfinal stage on Saturday morning.
