“He listened to most Ghanaians and most legends who spoke about his retirement from the team as well and we want to say thank you to Ghanaians for showing him that love.

“Ghanaians needed him for his quality that he has exhibited for the many years he has been in the Black Stars, and that cannot be bought anywhere, his experience as well as his temperament,” he added.
