Ghana striker David Accam is delighted to have some days off the pitch following a busy couple of weeks with club and country.
Accam was a member of coach Kwasi Appiah's team that played against El Tri of Mexico on June 28 in Houston and July 1 against the Yanks of US in East Hartford, Connecticut, before rejoining the Fire for a match in Portland on July 5.
With the Black Stars, Accam came off the bench and played 31 minutes in the 1-0 loss to Mexico. He started, but was subbed out at halftime against the US in a 2-1 American win. Then Accam traveled from East Coast to West Coast to play in Portland.
After playing out a tough draw in Portland, the Fire were off from training for six days.
“I went out with my friends, just taking it easy with my friends and family,” Accam said.
“I didn’t do much. I just wanted to rest and hang out with my friends and family.”
“You want to be playing every time, but also the break is good,” Accam said. “Everyone is happy to come back with more energy.”
Accam has registered 7 assists and 10 goals for the Fire in the ongoing MLS season.
