Ghana’s
key players based in Italy and Kevin-Prince Boateng have shown their
utmost commitment to the national team by chartering a flight to
Montenegro for Wednesday’s international friendly.Sulley Muntari,
Michael Essien, Kwadwo Asamoah and Emmanuel Agyemang Badu were joined by
Germany-based Boateng to charter the flight from Milan to
Podgorica.Even though the players are not paid match bonuses for
friendlies, the five players charterted the flight to ensure their quick
arrival and smooth journey to
Montenegro.The Ghana FA is unable to afford chartered flights for
players to match venues so it shows that the players paid for the flight
to take them directly to Podgorica.This clearly demonstrates how
devoted the players are to their country as some people in the past have
questioned the commitment of the players to the Black Stars.The picture
posted on the social media shows Kwadwo Asamoah and Emmanuel Agyemang
Badu taking the back seta of the small aircraft with Boateng and Muntari
taking the front seat.On that occasion it looks like Michael Essien was
the cameraman which ruled him out of the nice picture the players
posted.They arrived in camp safely and will join their colleagues as
they continue full training ahead of Wednesday night’s game.Ghana
continue their preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday
with an away friendly against Montenegro with the match being the last
before coach Kwesi Appiah names his squad for the World Cup.For the
global showpiece, Ghana – quarter-finalists in 2010 – were put into a
particularly tough group alongside Germany, Portugal and the United
States.
