African teams lean too much on top players,longchamp pas cher 2014
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) Africa's top players have faced too much pressure at the World Cup,chaussure tn, weighed down by the hopes of a continent and a misguided belief that they alone can swing the outcome of games, leading African soccer figures say.
Of the six African teams competing in the first World Cup hosted by the continent, only Ghana have made it through to the last 16. Ivory Coast play later on Friday,christian louboutin sale, but their chances of qualifying are slim.
France midfielder Patrick Vieira,tn requin pas cher, who left his Senegalese homeland at the age of 8, said African players such as Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba and Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o had struggled to shine.
"When they play at Inter (Milan) or Chelsea,hogan, there are 15 stars to share the pressure," said Vieira, a World Cup winner in 1998 who was not picked for the French squad this time around.
"In football,cheap christian louboutin, one player can't win the game . and it's a big responsibility for the other players not to expect just one player to make a difference," he told a news conference on Friday at Johannesburg's showcase Soccer City stadium.
Most of Africa's best known footballers spend most of their careers at European clubs,air jordan shoes, making for a tricky transition when they are called on to represent their nations.
"Maybe we're not playing the same 100 percent we do in our clubs because we're earning our bread and butter there," said Kalusha Bwalya,sac longchamp bandouliere, a former African Footballer of the Year and president of Zambia's football association.
"The African player has to be able to come home and deliver and I think this is a wakeup call for us,cheap christian louboutin shoes," he said, adding that a dearth of home grown coaches also needed to be tackled.
While many of the best players pack their bags in hope of making their soccer careers in Europe,jordan shoes for sale, most national squads import coaches. Of the six African finalists,jordans shoes, five had foreigners in charge.
Several teams also chopped and changed their coaches in the run up to the World Cup, drawing criticism from FIFA President Sepp Blatter, a staunch supporter of African football.

"It's something wrong in Africa that the local coaches are only good for the African Cup of Nations and when it comes to the World Cup we have European coaches,nike tn, which to me is diabolical," Sono said.
