Ghana Premier League legend Dan Owusu has voiced his disappointment with the current performance of strikers, contrasting their struggles with the lessons he learned from football icons Gerd Muller and Osei Kofi.

As a three-time Ghana Premier League top scorer, Owusu shared his perspective in an interview with Kessben FM, explaining why today’s strikers are finding it difficult to score consistently. He emphasized the importance of learning and practicing the art of goal scoring.

“When I joined Bofoakwa Tano, I faced similar challenges. I would get the ball, shoot, and miss, even after dribbling past defenders and the goalkeeper,” Owusu recalled. “I had to learn how to score goals.”

Owusu credits German football legend Gerd Muller and Ghanaian great Rev. Osei Kofi for shaping his career. “I watched videos of Gerd Muller and emulated his techniques, and I listened to Rev. Osei Kofi, which helped me become a good striker,” he revealed.

Owusu lamented the current state of goal scoring in the Ghana Premier League. “A striker scoring only 12 goals in 34 games is concerning and highlights the weakness of our current strikers,” he said.

The legendary striker also stressed the importance of mental toughness and strategic thinking in successful goal scoring.
