"It was beautiful playing for Spain. I have lived in Spain all my life but I did not forget Ghana. Ghana is special to me because my family and parents are here, and my blood is here, so I didn’t forget Ghana people.

"I came here and I saw all the people, all the people treated me well, called on me to come here and play here. I feel I am Ghanaian at heart and enjoy this country.

“Eleven against 11 anything can happen in football. It is a difficult group, but the team will do everything to qualify for the next round."
