“We were so happy when you won-in Mali-. Let me say that I have the highest respect for what you do as footballers and what you do for this country, the skill level for you, the dedication, the commitment that is required for you to get to this team…so when you get all the way to the Black Stars level, it takes something special and you are special.”
