I'm fit to play, declares Emmanuel Agyemang Badu

Posted On Monday, 21st January 2013

Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has no injury concerns

By Patrick Akoto

Midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has boldly declared he’s totally fit to play an important role in the Black Stars campaign at the ongoing 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Udinese star scored Ghana’s opening goal in their 2-2 draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth on Sunday night.

Badu is gradually becoming an indispensable member of the current set-up as the country will rely heavily on him and others to spearhead the country’s challenge at the continental showpiece.

The 22-year-old had a brush with injuries ahead of the start of the competition and fans are hoping he will stay fit to help the Black Stars clinch the ultimate diadem.

The former Ghana Under-20 star has revealed he’s fully fit and battle ready to take the tournament by storm despite the shaky start.

At a press conference organized by the Ghana Federation on Monday, the former Berekum Arsenals reacted to question on his health status and declared ‘My friend I’m fit’.

Badu is credited for his fine character, positive attitude, physical prowess and intelligent play on the field.

    GYAN DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE CAPTAIN. GIVE THE CAPTAIN SHIP TO BADU!

    COACHING TACTICS!
    GYAN DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE CAPTAIN. GIVE THE CAPTAIN SHIP TO BADU!

    if the players were doing wat i have been telling them to do like lifting metal. they would be faster, stronger and would have less
    CATASTROPHIC INJURIES. SO FAR LOOK AT THE STRENGTH OF THE PLAYERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY INJURED IN CAMP..VORSAH, YIADOM, ANNAN..
    THEY ALL DONT LIFT WEIGHTS! UNFORTUNATELY, TOO MANY OF MY PPL ARE FOOLS. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY.
    THE SCIENCE IS THERE TO SUPPORT WAT IM SUGGESTING, BUT WILL AFUOM COACH AA ADVISE THESE GUYS TO DO LIFT METALSO THEY WONT BE
    SUCEPTIBLE TO CATASTROPHIC INJURIES? NO….IF YOU ARE A PHYSICALLY FOT PLAYER. THE CHANCES OF YOU GETTING INJURED IS LESS.
    YOU ALSO RECUPERATE FASTER FROM YOUR INJURIES AS WELL…MAKAA AKAAA AKAAAA..PPL EVEN INSULT ME ON GHWEB N GHSOCCERNET BCOS THEY
    DONT UNDERSTAND MY POINT OF VIEW.
    HW3, WHEN U LOOK AT BARCELONA. EACH PLAYER ON THE TEAM PLAYS BREAK AND PASS SOCCER. ONLY XABI AND MESSI DRIBBLE OR HOLD UNTO THE BALL.
    EACH PLAYER PLAYS SIMPLE. BREAK AND PASS..2 TOUCHES, 3 AT MOST. THEY MOVE THE BALL BY PLAYING 2 TOUCH. NO PLAYER STANDS IDLE.
    ALL THE PLAYERS R CONSTANTLY MOVIN AS THE PLAYERS MOVE THE BALL IN A TRIANGULAR FASHION WITH THEIR BREAK AND PASS STYLE. ITS ALL MECHANICS.
    BARCELONA WILL NEVER OVERLAP A BALL FROM 7 TO 11..NEVER…
    THEY DO 3 THINGS AT THE SAME TIME: PLAYERS R CONSTANTLY MOVING, PLAYING 2 TOUCHES, MOVING THE BALL IN A TRIANGULAR FASHION.
    THIS MAKES THEIR OPPONENTS VERY FRUSTRATED, TIRED AND CHASING AFTER THE BALL. BEFORE THEIR OPPONENTS ARE AWARE,
    MESSI HAS THE BALL AND IS ALREADY IN THE 18 YARD BOX. IF YOU ARE A DEFENDER AND ARE NOT SMART..BOOM! PENALTY OR MESSI WILL SCORE..SIMPLE!
    I DONT HAVE ANY COACHING BADGES OR CERTIFICATES, BUT I WATCH BARCELONA AND THIS IS SIMPLY WHAT THEY DO. COMMON SENSE BALLIN!
    MAN U, CHELSEA, REAL MADRID ARE ALL TRYING TO COPY BARCELONA’S STYLE OF PLAY, BUT THEY CANT PERFECT IT.
    ITS FUNNY BECAUSE SPAIN PLAYS THE SAME STYLE, AND GUESS WHO BARCELONA AND SPAIN COPIED THIS STYLE FROM? GHANA!
    THEY COPIED THIS STYLE FROM GHANA IN WCUP 2006. THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT FROM BARCELONA, SPAIN AND GH SQUAD 2006
    IS STRIKING AND GOALS SCORING OPTIONS….WE NEED TO PLAY THE 532 FORMATION IN TOURNAMENTS.
    YOU SEE, STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, BUT DEFENDERS win you tournamentS. AA CAN PLAY THE 4321, 442 ETC TO WIN SINGLE GAMES,
    BUT IN A TOURNAMENT LIKE THIS. YOU ONLY HAVE A CHANCE IF YOUR DEFENDERS ARE ON POINT.

  3. Agenda says:

    Pls smbody tell this imbersile of a human he’s making this site sting! What’s this unnecessary hate to the Zambians abt? U are simply not well brought up and ur comments are always predictable,man! talk sense or shut up cos u are rot!!! I mean Zambia is…../ the first commentator

  4. GH FUO, THINK BIG!!! says:

    GIVE THE CAPTAIN BAND TO BADU, NOW!
    GYAN IS NOT MENTALLY EQUIPPED TO EVER BE A GBSTAR CAPTAIN. HE IS AN IMPOTENT STRIKER. GYAN
    IS A FOOLISH STRIKER. HE HAS NO KILLER INSTINCT INFRONT OF THE NET. ANY STRIKER WHO CANT SMELL BLOOD INFRONT. ALWAYS PLAYFUL, NO SERIOUSNESS WATSOEVER. LIKE A KID IN AN ADULT MAN’S BODY…
    OF THE NET IS USELESS, IMPOTENT STRIKER!
    WHY ARE THE NAMES ON THESE FOOLISH TYE N DYE PUMA JERSEYS IN SMALL CAPS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY? GFA, DID PUMA GIVE US A DISCOUNT TO HVE
    OUR NAMES IN SMALL LETTERS OR NOT? ATROCIOUS JERSEYS FROM PUMA. AFCON HAS TURNED INTO A PUMA FASHION SHOWCASE….FOOLISH GFA!
    NYANTAKYI NEEDS BINOCULARS NOT GLASSES, BCOS HE STILL CANT SEE SHIT!

  5. Kwameo says:

    I want to ask a question.if fiamenyo was to score 18 goals in dubai.will he be invited for blackstars.no player deserves to be invited into bstars from dubai.whats the achievements of uae in football,they cant even compare to saudi arabia.kasa scores from a header when even challenge from a tight angle.top striker heads straight to gkeeper even with the keeper in the net with no challenge. Cant even rem one dribble top striker did on congo defender.my heart beat when i see that guy playing in gh jersey.i think bekoe could have even be better if given half those chance given to top striker.

  6. GH FUO, THINK BIG!!! says:

    STRIP HIMOF THE CAPTAIN BAND AND GIVE IT TO BADU. DIE3 OBR3 NO ODIE. GYAN IS VERY IMMATURE. HE IS NOT SERIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING. IMPOTENT STRIKER. JUST STRIP HIM OF THE BAND. ITS A DIUSGRACE SEEING HIM WEAR THE BAND FOR GBSTAR. EVEN HIS APPEARANCE AS A PERSON SHOWS INDISCIPLINE. WAT KIND OF FOOLISH HAIRSTYLE IS THIS? A WHOLE GH CAPTAIN PAA. LOOKING LIKE AN UNDECISIVE STREET BOY AH! AA, U ARE A TOOL. U HAVE NO PRINCIPLES. U ALLOWED GYAN TO BRIBE U WITH CHEAP MONEY N NOW LOOK AT WHAT HE IS DOING. U WILL SEE. WOE UNTO U IF GBSTAR FAILS TO IMPRESS AT THIS AFCON. U AND NYANTAKYI SHOULD SEEK ASYLUM IN SOUTH AFRICA. NKWASIAS3M!…WHY?

  7. African Consciousness says:

    GH FUO, THINK BIG, Gyan is the team captain and we have to accept that and support him. Your comments are demoralizing and will be undermining him. Make comments that will inspire the team during this tournament. Gyan might not fit your mold of team captain but his Coach appointed him and we cannot change that.

  8. killer says:

    why too much insults on Gyan? leave boy alone pls! even John pentsil is still playing and look at his tackels as a defender
