Avram Grant defends 'template squad' call-ups
Head coach of the Black Stars Avram Grant has
strongly defended his predictable call-ups, saying
it is to create stability in the team.
Grant has in recent times been criticized for
constantly inviting the same players team and not
given others the chance to prove their worth.

The Israeli trainer recently revealed list for
Egypt showdown with only two debutants – Andy
Yiadom (pictured below) and Alhassan Wakaso.

But the former Chelsea manager argues his decision
is the best for the country.

''First of all, if I was not in Ghana it was
compliment. In any other country if there's
stability, the people are happy,'' Grant said.

''You need to create stability. How can you
succeed when you don't have stability? When you
are shaking the team every week, you cannot
succeed not in a team, not in a club and not in
national team.’’

''One of things we wanted to create is the
stability. Unfortunately we don't have stability
that we want because Gyan injured alot, Dede was
injured a lot, Kwadwo Asamoah, Rabiu is injured,
Kwesi Appiah is injured so we didnt have stability
like I wanted when everyone was there.’’

''If people say this, I take it as a compliment.
If you have stability it means we are doing a good
job. In every organization when there's stability
people are happy.''

Avram Grant willl be hoping to get Ghana's World
Cup qualifiers back on track when the play Egypt.
