I am very, very proud of all my teammates for putting up a wonderful team spirit on and off the pitch, for our country Ghana.
Personally, it has been very difficult moments for me in the past few days. I lost my godson the morning before the Portugal game, and my daughter was also rushed to the hospital after the Uruguay. Thanks to the Almighty Allah, she’s getting better.
This difficult moments will inspire me to come back stronger and better in the future, and so I believe, will the Black Stars.
In our true Ghanaian spirits, WE WILL NEVER SAY DIE, UNTIL THE BONES ARE ROTTEN, WO KUM APEM A, APEM BEBA,
Thank you all for your prayers and unwavering support.🇬🇭
REST IN PEACE ADAM"
