Black stars winger, Christian Atsu has reacted to the backlash of the Senior national team for going trophyless since 1982.

Ghana has not won a major trophy since clinching the Africa Cup of Nations in Libya in 1982.

Their best performances have been multiple finishes as losing finalists at the continental showpiece and reaching the quarter-final of the World Cup in 2010.

The former Magpies attacker believes the Black Stars deserves every criticism from football fans for their inability to win silverware.

“We fight for the fans, we play for the fans and if you have noticed, if the fans are not behind us, we perform badly you know,” Atsu told Starr Sports.

“But I know the fans don’t see this, we play for them and also give our everything for them but our best has not been enough for them and we deserve criticism from them.

“We just promise that everyday things will be much better.”

Atsu recently parted ways with English side Newcastle United after after seeing out his contract.
