At the Tang Palace Hotel in Accra on Saturday evening, Barcelona striker Memphis Depay met with the players, staff, and technical team of Ghana Premier League champions Asante Kotoko. On Saturday, Kotoko drew 1-1 with Accra Lions in their final game of the season.
To improve, the Kotoko players should be attentive and work on their own, according to the Barcelona forward.
Depay is on vacation in Ghana, which he does frequently during the off-season because he is of Ghanaian descent.
On Thursday, the 28-year-old striker and his entourage visited with Ghanaian President John Mahama and presented him with an autographed Barcelona jersey.
Depay appeared in two UEFA Nations League matches for Holland, against Poland and Wales, scoring a late winner in the Netherlands' 3-2 victory over Wales.
Before heading for pre-season, he will continue his charity work with his deaf and dumb buddies in Cape Coast and other parts of Ghana.
Depay, who was born in Ghana and has a Ghanaian father, will also meet with the head of the country's football association to see how he can assist.
Despite his injury problems, he had a decent season with Barcelona, scoring 12 goals in 28 La Liga games.
