“WE PLAYED FOR PRIDE”-REV.OSEI KOFI
Former Black Stars player Rev.Osei Kofi says they played for pride. According to Rev. Osei Kofi in his 60’s there were no money and they were amateurs so they played for pride. “Kwame Nkrumah made us understand that the National Anthem is being played for the president and the entire people of Ghana and it is a privilege when we are selected to be part of the team” said Rev. Osei Kofi.
He further stated that Ghanaian should pray and support the Black Stars since they have admitted what happened at Brazil will not happen again.
