Accra Great Olympics staunch supporter, Joseph Langabel has given the clearest indication that black magic 'juju' in football exists and claims that Juventus and Portugal star, Cristiano Ronaldo even uses it.
According to the Black Stars chief drummer, Black Stars players were into using 'juju' and used that as ways and means to win matches
He, however, mentioned former Ghana’s number one goalie, Richard Kingson affectionately called ‘Olele Kingson’ among many others who sought spiritual backing during their playing days.
“My brother, juju in football is not a joke, it’s real. Even in the Black Star camp, we have it there. If the player will not go for the juju, someone will approach you and do it for you,” Langabel told UTV.
“Do you remember Olele? Do you remember how skilful he was during his playing time; he was using spirits in the post. Even Cristiano Ronaldo use juju,” he added.
He also recalled that, in the late 70’s, players of Glorious Accra Hearts Of Oak failed to score a goal against their Guinean counterparts Hafia in an Africa Cup all because a spiritualist had told them and player who put the ball at the back of their opponents net will die.
