Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu
Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has revealed that not winning the Africa Cup of Nations is the biggest disappointment of his career.
The midfielder was part of the Ghana team that lost in the 2010 and 2015 African Cup of Nations finals, the latter the most painful of his career.
“My lowest point and biggest disappointment was not winning the African Cup of Nations,” he told Joy Sports.
“Another of my biggest disappointment was when Udinese lost in the penalty shoot-out to Braga because we lost in qualifying for the UEFA Champions League,” he added.
“But in terms of my career with the Black Stars it has to do with not winning the Nations Cup,” he added.
Agyemang-Badu has been to two Nations Cup finals, in Angola 2010 and in Equatorial Guinea 2015.
But the Hellas Verona midfielder regrets a penalty shoot-out loss to Côte d’Ivoire in 2015 when the Black Stars lost to the Ivorians after taking a two-goal lead on penalties.
“The most painful thing was the loss to Côte d’Ivoire because we had a two-goal lead and still lost, but as for the loss to Egypt in 2010, it’s not regrettable.
Agyemang-Badu played 78 times for Black Stars before announcing his retirement last week.
