I cannot think of a better overall interview that covers the pitch tactics and locker room dynamics/ personalities (at the biggest stages) so effectively. Prince is a stellar communicator. Rio and the team are also top notch! Professional flow throughout.

      in terms of how much fun one has and at the same time being at the absolute peak of a the sport it can easily be argued that dinho was the best. it was joga bonita day in and day out. dinho went so hard with the flow, no one ever reached that level and won something, but he did, because he ( and ofc his teammates) could.
      also when you hear the stories from barca, party until 4 in the morning, but still loves to have a ball that much that he showed up drunk for training xD thats dinho for me. as a kid i was the same, i just was not as happy as i could be if i had no ball at my feet. if god touched messi left leg he touched dinhos brain.

Jerome is the complete opposite, thats why Jerome was world cup winner and champions league winner.

My first experience with Kevin was skill comps in which he scored many iconic goals.

    • @jackroro7381
      @jackroro7381 Před 6 měsíci +2

      For me I am disappointed in him.
      the problem is that he lied about the reason of his firering from the Ghana national team, and tried to make his teammates look bad, and see him as a hero.
      He said that the firering was because he defended his teammates about money.. SMH.. like he is the only one who ever did defend his teammate in history.. this guy doesn't try to put logic in his lies.. SMH.. A lot of Capitains have defended their teammates over the years. Stephen Appiah did it, Asamoah Gyan did it, Abedi Pele did it, Essien did it, John Mensah did it etc...
      Kevin Prince Boateng was sent home by the coach, because of the disrespect he showed him in front of the team multiple times. This was reported multiple times before his firering, and It has been confirmed by many of his teammates. You can also see his behavior in some of the matches prio to that .
      Kevin Prince Boateng behavior was like ghanaians are under his feet that he should be treated like a king, even though he had not proven any thing, or won any thing for Ghana. And Ghana was not his first choice. If he hadn't had the issue with Ballack, I am pretty sure he wouldn't have played for Ghana. I will be in fact interested to see how many times he went to Ghana after the WC 2014 and before the decision to play for Ghana.
      Kevin Prince Boateng thought that he was doing a favor to ghana by coming to play for ghana. He forgot that Ghana has a history of great players, so you can't just think that because he is from Germany people will just bow down to him. Moreover he can't be playing the game of I am superior to you and disrespect the coach in from of the team.
      I can see in his eyes, that it is with difficulties that he actually want to say something good about Ghana, but for me he shouldn't have played for Ghana in the first place. Ghana would have been fine without him. They had a strong team in addition to that the under 20 natinal team had just won the world cup in 2009, and a huge number of them was in the squad.

      He chose Ghana befor the Ballack incident, but tbh if things would go good with Germany he would play for Germany like his brother Jerome. He was to outspoken for Löw ..
      I dont know how him and the coach appiah relationship was, but as common for african teams they had Problems with the bonuses/money they promised to the players. Cameroon had the same issues 2014 - i guess the corrupt officials take the money for themselves. So dont know why you blame him for that.

      @@ishakawde1 yes Ghana was not his first choice. But when he choose Ghana the least he could have done is respect the people and their culture. He can think that because he is from Germany, Ghanaians subhumans and that he is above them. This a general problem with some guys who grow up out side Africa. when the come back to Africa, they disrespect locals treat them sh*t..
      Now with KP Boateng, The problem is that he tried to lie and disrespect Ghanaian teammates that the was fighting for them and that is how he got kicked out. And that nobody defended him even though he defended them. That was false. He was not kicked out because he asked about players bonuses, because he was kicked by the coach, secondly he was not the first player to ask that, players have been paid already.
      So Kevin just knows that it is general problem in Africa, he tries to use that narrative, and lies to hide his problems.
      If you doubt me, ask Ghanaians who followed the story back then.. moreover some players have already reacted to his interview and denied the allegations.
