Top scorer of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League, Abednego Tetteh, has temporarily called time on his playing career over the persistent Black Stars snub.
The former King Faisal and Bibiani Goldstars goal poacher revealed that he is quitting football for sometime after being overlooked by managements of the Black Stars.
“I won the Goal King award but I am very sad. It is the vision of any footballer to do well and earn praises 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,” Tetteh said on Fox FM on Monday.
“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? ” he quized.
“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.”
“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 doing myself and not be rewarded. They have started pre-season but I am in the house , I am not playing again for now.”
The 32-year-old has played for Hearts, King Faisal, Bechem United, Al-Hilal Al-Ubayyid, Al-Hilal Omdurman and Bibiani Goldstars where he won the league’s top scorer award in the 2022/2023 betPawa Premier League season.
