Charles Asampong Taylor has blamed Ghana's goalkeeper's trainer, Richard Kingston, for the Black Stars' poor showing at the Africa Cup of Nations.
According to the former Hearts and Kotoko player, Jojo Wollacot as Black Stars number one goalkeeper was a wrong choice, and Kingston needs to take responsibility for the Swindon shot-stopper's poor display.
Charles Taylor, who works as a pundit on Angel TV, was very critical of the goalkeeping department of the Black Stars.
“We should be disappointed in Olele because he is responsible for the training of majority of Ghanaian goalkeepers at his home,” he told Angel TV as quoted by Ghanaweb.

Jojo Wollacot had a difficult Africa Cup of Nations, conceding five goals in three matches, more than he conceded in his first four games for the Black Stars.
Richard Kingston spotted the goalkeeper and made him number following the injury to Orlando Pirates goalie Richard Ofori.
