Kotoko legend Opoku Nti reveals how his Black Stars call up was collapsed by an official
Asante Kotoko legend, Samuel Opoku Nti has opened up on how his call up to the senior national team, the Black Stars was collapsed by an official.
Speaking to Dan Kwaku Yeboah, the former Ghana international revealed that the delay in releasing his ticket compelled him to ask veteran broadcast journalist, Kwabena Yeboah, to find out why.
According to him, he found from Kwabena Yeboah that his ticket has been held up by an official.
"I think it was within that period player exodus started. I don't want to be controversial but I think the football administrators should be truthful. While I was in Switzerland, I remember we had a match here(in Ghana) against Benin and I had information that I've been called. So I was waiting for my ticket. After waiting for a while, I called Kwabena Yeboah and asked what was going on. When he checked, somebody had withheld my ticket that I should come."
He further cautioned that such practice hinders the development of Ghana's football.
"So our football will not improve with all these things because we don't take the right people to do the job for us. I don't see the reason why because of your selfish interest the whole nation should suffer. If it is obvious somebody can play, why don't you put him? If we are not truthful with things, it won't be easy for us."
Opoku Nti was a member of the team that won Kotoko's last CAF Champions League title and also Ghana's last AFCON title.
He spent the last years of his career, playing in Switzerland. He played for Servette FC, FC Aarau, and FC Baden.
