If anyone tells you there is no Juju in football, he’s lying – Sarfo Gyamfi (The Black President
Former Asante Kotoko player, Sarfo Gyamfi has revealed that he used pay to 2000 old cedis (20pesewas) for his spiritual father for every goal during his heydays at Asante Kotoko.
The Kotoko legend speaking in an interview with Kessben TV stressed that if anyone insists there is no (Juju) in football, that person is lying.
Despite his strong stance on superstition, Sarfo Gyamfi noted that the physical aspect of the game is a core and thus requires players to train well in order to attain results.
“You have to protect yourself, that’s why we say there is Juju in football. I’m telling you, if anyone tells you there is no Juju in football, he is lying.
During our time, against Zamalek, we knew there were going to score us first and we score 5. Our Chairman said I have 2 goals in the game and i knew had 2 goals in the game. I went for the 2 important goals in the game, our first goal, the equalizer, and the 4th goal.
During that time, I used 20 pesewas to pay my spiritual man for each goal. Our bonus was 1 cedi and I also had someone who also give me money when we win.
You have to train well, don’t joke with your training because if your fitness level is not standard, you cant play. You have to be fit” Sarfo said on Kessben TV
