Former Black Stars midfielder, Agyemang Badu has disclosed that missing out on the 2010 FIFA World Cup was a sad moment in his playing career.
The former Asante Kotoko and Udinese Calcio midfielder despite his form in Europe ahead of the Mundial in South Africa was overlooked by the then-head coach, Milovan Rajevac.
According to him, he felt bad after playing a major role during the qualifiers but was dropped by the Serbian trainer.
“I feel very bad because in the qualifiers I scored like three goals so I was in a great form," the Great Olympics midfielder told Radio Gold.
“I was playing in and out at Udinese and unfortunately, in our last two games before the league went on recess, I got injured.
“I tried my best, the coach wanted me there but I told myself that no, I’m still young, this is my first time.
“I needed to go back to Udinese and have good treatment and I have more years ahead of me.
“It was a sad moment but thank God I was able to sail through and got another opportunity to play in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, it was a sad moment," he added.
Agyemang-Badu was part of the Black Stars team that played at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
