Now, Emmanuel Adebayor has also shared his opinion in responds to the comments made by Jamie Carragher, “these comments are total disrespect not only to AFCON but also to all Africans. It’s always the same when AFCON comes around; clubs hesitate to release players, and critics try to downplay its importance. I played against World-class defenders in the Premier League, and Carragher is not one of them,” he said.
