justifying his recent selection of players ahead of Clash between Djibouti and Burkina Faso.He pointed out that National team is not like a football club where players trained every day and got selected during the week. However, for National Teams, he acknowledge that they have limited time to assemble players and trained for competition.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that their is not many changes in the team because he has started to adopt a new style of play, and bringing new players will be difficult, especially when he couldn\u2019t see them in a friendly match.<\/p>\n

He further acknowledge that everyone has his own Opinion and they\u2019re free to criticize. However he calls for constructive criticism that will help as a Technical Team, and not for selfish interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received calls from many people on Why I didn\u2019t call their players. It\u2019s not about you, Sierra Leone belongs to the people of Sierra Leone and not to Amidu Karim. Cricize in a way that will help us as a nation not in a selfish Interest,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
