Promote the local league more – Nii Adjei appeals to Media

Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Daniel Nii Adjei has made a clarion call on the Ghanaian media to appreciate and promote the players plying their trade in the Ghana Premier League.

Nii Adjei who had a successful stint at African giant TP Mazembe says there is a vast difference playing in the Congolese league compare to that of Ghana.

According to the King Faisal midfielder, the media in DR Congo appreciate and promote their National league whilst in Ghana the media focus more on the European leagues.

“There’s a vast difference between football in DR Congo and Ghana, they appreciate their own whereas we don’t appreciate ours.” He told Best FM in Bogoso

“The media in DR Congo also makes sure it promotes the league and the players.

“I usually don’t listen to radio in DR Congo but, any time I listen to radio, it’s more of their local league rather than promoting the foreign leagues.”

Nii Adjei also called on the media to stop comparing the foreign leagues to that of Ghana.

“We often compare how players play in Europe to Ghana and I think it’s not proper.

“Our Ghanaian media gives more attention to the foreign game to the expense of our own game.

“How many fans know the local players and their clubs ? But, most fans can mention many players with their current clubs in Europe.” He added
