We have lived to this day, that we have to separate painfully, my reasons are personal.

The park hosted Berekum Chelsea’s match of the second day of the Ghana Premier League against Asante Kotoko, which ended 1-1.

“Some of the players even play on grassless pitches, what are you talking about? No one has asked you to call me.
“I am watching a Nigerian movie and that is most valuable to me right now. We have finished playing the game and I don’t care about anything anymore. If you don’t understand, go ahead and ‘collect’ the three points, ”he told Accra-based Angel FM.
