Tagoe believes the timing to which Kudus was made captain was wrong, adding that the perfect opportunity to give the 24-year-old the captain’s armband would have eventually presented itself.&nbsp;

“You can't give the captaincy to Kudus when Jordan is present in the team. You don't do that. Kudus is a very good player, but you need to be patient and allow his time to come before you give him the captaincy," the ex-Black Stars forward said.&nbsp;

He also added that when that is done at the right time, it will positively impact Kudus’ performance and confidence.

Tagoe believes the alleged bad blood in the team can be attributed to some of these premature decisions.&nbsp;

“When you do it at the right time, you will feel the impact and he will feel well. The confusion in the team takes its root from all those things and it's the major problem we must tackle. We must look at the captaincy issue,” he added.&nbsp;
