Why I took the last penalty at the 2009 FIFA U20 World Cup – Agyemang-Badu explains

Former Ghana international, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, has disclosed why he decided to take the last penalty kick that won Ghana its first U-20 World Cup in 2009. Taking the last kick in a penalty shootout is a daunting task for many players, but not the case for Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu. According to Agyemang-Badu, his mother had a revelation in a dream that he would become famous for a goal he would score at the tournament. “My mum said I had scored a goal and my name was everywhere and so our game against Uzbekistan, I hit a ball from the center and it hit the crossbar, so after the game, I phoned my mother and informed her that Osofo Maame it [the goal] didn’t happen,” Agyemang-Badu said on the Nabil Show. Although he missed that opportunity to score, the former Udinese stated that his mother comforted him to “wait and pray” because “it will come.” The Black Satellites made it to the finals of the tournament where they defeated Brazil in the penalty shootout by 4-3 with Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu scoring Ghana’s winning goal. However, reminiscing why he decided to go in for the toughest kick of the game, the player recalled that his mother’s dream inspired him to take the kick despite the consequences he would have to face if he missed it. Agyemang-Badu said, “So in some seconds I said to myself what if I miss it? There would be pressure on me but the thought of what my mom told me reflected in just 10 seconds. So I gathered the courage and I said to myself that what my mom told me, this is my time to make a name for myself, nation and family.” Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Update: Augustine Sefah has not quit football to become a fetish priest

GhanaWeb can exclusively report that the viral photo depicting someone who looks like former Asante Kotoko defender, Augustine Sefah as a fetish priest is a case of mistaken identity. This platform on Thursday, January 14, 2021, published a story asking if defender Augustine Sefah has quit football to become a fetish priest. However, our puzzle has been solved as the identity of the man who was seen dressed in a white priest gown with powder all over his body and a leaf rope around his neck has now been revealed. He came to the premises of GhanaWeb today, January 15, 2021, to prove that he is the one in the photo and not Augustine Sefah. The man identified himself as Nii Afrankah, the Chief of Dunshie in Awoshie-Sowutoum. This proves that Nii Afrankah’s identity was mistaken for that of Augustine Sefah. He didn’t like the fact that his identity was mistaken for that of the former Kotoko player. He demanded an apology. Below is the story that was initially published yesterday: Has Augustine Sefah quits football to become a fetish priest? Former Asante Kotoko defender, Augustine Sefah, has been reportedly ordained as a fetish priest.

Kotoko to add Cameroonian striker to Fabio Gama

Kumasi Asante Kotoko are set to add a Cameroonian striker by name Alexander to their attacking options. The striker has reportedly been training with Kotoko for the last few days as he strives to impress coach Johnson Smith and the technical team. Alexander as he is called is a former striker of Dragon club de Yaounde and has been given a trial period at Kotoko. Speaking in an interview with Kumasi-based Pure FM, Alexander said: “I played for Dragon Yaounde and I am here for trials”. If successful, Alexander will join the likes of Kwame Poku and William Opoku Mensah as Kotoko’s attackers. The mood in the team’s camp has been sent a notch higher after their 2-0 victory over Liberty Professionals in week 8 of the Ghana Premier League. Kwame Poku bagged the two goals but the star of the game was Brazilian midfielder Fabio Gama who was involved in the two goals scored. Fans of the club have been waxing lyrical about the midfielder since his impressive debut. But Gama has urged the fans to exercise some restraint as he works to Ghana’s game. “I’m happy with my performance. This was my first start and I’m pleased but I still have to do more because I have to help the team. If I have to have a good career here, then I have to adapt. I will adapt.”, he said after the game. Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications

‘Hurtful’ Melissa Satta details the cause of divorce from Kevin-Prince Boateng

Melissa Satta has given a vivid interview of what caused her divorce with Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng. The relationship between the pair appeared to be on rocks before their separation after they spent time away from each other. Satta and Boateng had been married for 4 years and have a six-year-old son, Maddox Boateng. The sassy Italian model and TV presenter was however accused of philandering after she was pictured with one particular man on several occasions. The man in question is Matteo Rivetti, entrepreneur, son of the former owner of the Stone Island brand. But according to Satta, who feels hurt by the insinuations, there is no kind of connection between her and the aforementioned man. “I don’t usually make videos of this type, but this time I feel obliged”, the former tissue began, referring to an article published by Chi. “They wrote that I have a flirtation with a man, a gentleman whom I don’t know and have never seen, and among other things I learned that this person has a beautiful family, is married and has two children.” “I am living a very special moment in my life, very painful, as you know, and I am trying to live it within the four walls of my house, also protecting my son. It’s very difficult to manage, but I’m trying to do my best, ”added Melissa, who, by her own admission, has learned to live with gossip, but not when the limits are exceeded. “I’ve been doing this job for sixteen years, I know how gossip works. If they photograph me with someone, when that happens, there will be no problems, but it will not be a married person with children and already committed because that is something I would never do. I’m sorry for myself, but also for this person who found himself in the newspapers for no reason. Enough of this freedom to tarnish the lives of others, I also have feelings, I feel pain, even if I try not to always show them on social networks,” Satta remarked. The two had reunited after a first moment of crisis, the reasons for which were never disclosed, and it seemed that things had started working again between them, until the definitive break, also made official via social media with a joint declaration, on 21 December.

Reasons why Kwesi Appiah has distanced himself from the Asante Kotoko job revealed

Former Black Stars coach, James Kwasi Appiah has distanced himself from the Asante Kotoko vacant coaching role claiming “he is not ready” to take up the task. The Ghanaian giants are currently looking to replace Maxwell Konadu who was sacked as head coach of the club about a fortnight back. The Porcupine Warriors parted company with Konadu following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Accra Great Olympics in the Ghana Premier League. However, Appiah, who is a legend of the club has been linked with the vacant coaching job but a close source has told AshesGyamera.com that the former Black Stars trainer is not interested to take up the role. “There is no way Kwesi Appiah will become the next coach of Asante Kotoko because he is actually not interested at the moment,” the source said. “After his contract with Ghana expired, he decided to take time off football and leave the scene for a while because he has been through a lot.” “Currently, he is doing other businesses which are showing promises and it will be premature to halt all the plans and projections made to become the successor of Maxwell Konadu.” “Everything in this world is possible but this comeback is highly impossible. I believe Kotoko will look elsewhere,” the source added. Assistant coach Johnson Smith has since the dismissal of Maxwell Konadu taken over as the interim coach until a substantive one is hired.
