"I had played the World Cup in 2010, won the best defender in Ghana twice but when I got to Red Star Belgrade I was told I am not ready to play and needed more time. My first game was a derby and I was not invited to camp but later I was called to come and play. That first game I played I earned a contract in China because I played very well"

He advised Ghanaian players to play above themselves and make sure they are fully ready before they move out of Ghana because European football is very difficult.
