Bibiani Gold Stars striker, Abednego Tetteh has confirmed his early retirement from football over “unfair” treatment from the handlers of the Black Stars.
According to the former Hearts of Oak striker, he no longer has the appetite to play football because regardless of his performance, he won’t earn a national team call up.
The top scorer of the 2022/2023 Ghana Premier League wondered why the Black Stars handlers will invite a striker from the local league when he has outscored everybody in the League.
“I won the Goal King award but I am very sad. It is the vision of any footballer to do well and earn praise for his hard work but in my case, it is not like that. I am very, very sad and I know many people are sad too. For a football nation like Ghana, the goal king of the league is consistently not given a national call-up but players that he overscored are invited to the national team,” he told Fox FM.
“Even look at the GFA awards, all the top scorers of the various leagues won the best player of that league but in my case, I was not given the best player award despite being the top scorer of the league season. Have I offended anyone at the GFA? I really do not understand what is going on”
.“They first called a different striker (Hafiz Wontah of Bechem United) and then for the second time another player that I scored more goals than is called (Jonathan Sowah). What have I done wrong to the GFA people? ” Tetteh quizzed.
He added that his teammates are currently in the house preparing for the season ahead but for now he has no intentions of playing football again.
“Right now I am in the house, I am not playing for any club this season. I will not even play football again for now. It is better to stay in the house than do myself and not be rewarded. They have started pre-season but I am in the house, I am not playing again for now.”
