Ransford Osei looking to regain hot form
By Ameenu Shardow
Ghanaian striker Ransford Osei says he has failed to realize his huge potential because of ‘bad luck’.
The 21-year-old who now plays for Bloemfontein Celtic in the South African top flight burst onto the scene as a deadly finisher at the 2007 U-17 World Cup in South Korea where he emerged the second highest scorer with six goals.
He again proved his worth when he won the golden boot award at the African Youth Championships two years on after helping the Black Satellites win the trophy in Rwanda.
Osei however started loosing his spark at the U-20 World Cup in 2009 and moves to Isreal with Maccabi Haifa and FC Twente in the Dutch league did little in yielding positive results.
The once described lethal striker has since been unable to hit the highs that once made him the toast of many and now attributes his failure to sheer bad luck.
“I have learnt that there is a lot of good luck in the game of football,” he said.
“I started very well but things have not been quite good for me in recent times but it is life and I will never despair.
“My playmates like Agyemang-Badu are now playing for the Black Stars – where I should also be but God knows best and I really believe I will gain that form that brought me to the limelight in 2007.”

ransford you are making the age old terrible mistake of comparing yourself to others. learn from others but make your own way with the knowledge. good luck and peace
His form seemed to have dwindled in U-20 when he was played as a surpporting striker to weak adiyiah
my name is hamza and i think its gud 2 be proud of such a striker.ransford did very well in rwanda by claiming the goal king trophy and also appeared as the second goal king in the their recent world cup.his dashes,timing and shooting r great.i am praying harder for da boy to get back to his feet coz i know 4 sure dat he can make it.asamoah gyan is quite pompous,he fnks he is da best,essien abandon us wen we needed him da most.but the dede group.ransford,adiyiah,badu and others r our future.
I support to him.
All that Osei needs is the right team, the right coach that will see the talent in him, trust him and encourage him. He will be back, by then he will be fully matured and bold and confident with the ball and will score freely.
Stay blessed Osei!! Ghana is waiting for your right time!!!

not every player will recognize this and think about what they need to do to get their form back….
what i believe is hardworking pays off….wish you all the best
Pls ransford we d kotoko fans need badly for africa next year
Osei look da grapha da grapha, one day u will suerly be Ghana’s main attacker cos yours is natural ok, i will say a prayer for u.
