Kwesi Appiah has advised players who played at the CHAN not to return to their clubs with over-bloated egos. Members of the Local Black Stars have been praised for reaching the final of the tournament despite failing to win against Libya. Appiah expects the 23-man to be emboldened by their achievement in South Africa. He wants the players to put lessons from the tournament to use as the Ghanaian top-flight makes a return after a long break. �Their confidence level will naturally rise. At AFCON 2013, I selected about ten players who had no experience at that level. After the tournament, they returned to their clubs very confident. They don�t have to feel big. They have to fight to be the best otherwise, they will make no effect,� Appiah. �I was generally delighted by their displays. Most of the countries brought their first teams,� he added. �Back home, our team could be the third-tier Black Stars but look at how they competed against some of the best on the continent. I think the standard of play was really good.�� The Ghana Premier League resumed last Wednesday but only few were released to join their clubs.
