Recall KP-Boateng, You Need Him Badly—Coach J.E Sarpong

Ghanaian International Midfielder, Kevin Prince-Boateng, made a shocking loan move to European champions, FC Barcelona earlier this week.

Boateng’s move dominated in the media across the world sparking a debate in Ghana whether the former Milan attacker should be called back into the Black Stars squad.

Ghana’s coach, Kwesi Appiah, has also indicated he would recall the new Barcelona signee if only he renders an apology to Ghanaians for his part in the Brazil 2014 World Cup fiasco.

However, Veteran Ghanaian Coach, J.E Sarpong, to this end is calling on the Black Stars Coach to put everything aside and recall the former Portsmouth midfielder to beef up his squad ahead of the 2019 AFCON tournament.

Coach Sarpong according to a report by primenewsghana.com sighted by reporter believes Kwesi Appiah needs the player more and there’s no need for him to apologize for call up.

Speaking in an interview with Kumasi based Agyenkwa FM, the former Liberty Professional trainer said;

“If the coach is willing to work with him, he should call him but it shouldn’t be like an apology first before he hands him a call up into the national team”, he told Agyenkwa FM in Kumasi.

“I even doubt if Kevin-Prince Boateng will avail himself for call up because he is now enjoying his footballing career”, he stated.

“Ghana needs Kevin more than Kevin needs Ghana now so we should swallow our pride and call him if the coach will need him in his game plan”, Coach J.E Sarpong emphasized.

“Kwasi Appiah is a humble coach and does not talk much in public but I believe he might call Kevin in the coming days”

“Since Gyan is not scoring these days I believe inviting Kevin to partner either Gyan or Emmanuel Boateng will be useful to Ghana”

“Quality players are troublesome but they are manageable so the technical handlers of the national team should be able to manage him and they will get their results”, he ended.
