Chibsah Proves His' Worth The Call-Up

Ghana midfielder Yussif Chibsah has given an indication of what he is capable of doing for the country by hitting top form in Sweden on the night he was handed a return to the Black Stars after a three-year absence.

Chibsah, who plays for top flight Swedish side Gefle, scored all the goals as his club defeated Hamstad 2-0 in the league on Wednesday night, the same night he was called to the national team for the first time in three years.

The former Kotoko player opened the scoring for Gefle on 38 minutes before sealing the victory with a strike just after the hour mark.

The win took Gefle to sixth on the table and the Ghanaian player was named Man of the Match, his third of the season.

Chibsah was among the 32 players called by Ghana coach Milovan Rajeavc ahead of the World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Sudan next month.

His performance in the Swedish top-flight is what has resulted in his return to the national team since he last played for the country during a friendly in 2006 ahead of the World Cup.

Last season he was among the top-performers in the Swedish league and was monitored by Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac.


My Ultimate Comment:

You had a clue Chibsah would be recalled into the national team?

Your guess for the goose is as good as mine for the gander. The former national Under-23 skipper has proven critics erroneous about his style of play. He was the chastised one in the Ghanaian team after we failed to qualify from the group stages at the Athens Olympic Games in Greece when the whole team was misfiring.

I am certain he is on a ''redeem'' mission just like Team USA were at the Beijing Olympic Games.

I wish Chibsah all the best in is pursuit to help the national cause.
