A year ago



CEO of Danlad Foundation, Danlad Ibrahim of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has donated sets of jerseys to Afful Nkwanta community in Kumasi yesterday. 


Assembly Man of the community, Hon. Otuo Acheampong received the jerseys for the community. 


The shot stopper and assistant captain also gifted the Assembly Man National jersey.


He used the free time he had after helping the national under 23 qualify for the African cup in June this year to donate these kits to his people.

He was not part of the Asante Kotoko squad that played against

Legon cities at the Elwalk sports stadium in the match day 24 fixture. 

The match ended in a one, one draw after Legon cities equalized from behind through Alex Aso. 

The match was a well competitive match. 


?? - Juan Carlos Unzué: "When Messi came into the first team, there were players like Ronaldinho, Deco and Rafa Márquez, who were excellent free-kick takers and stayed after training to practice. But Messi would sit on a ball, just watching them practise."


"So I asked Messi 'Why don't you practise? I've seen you score free-kicks goals at La Masia'. Messi replied 'This is not my moment, this is Ronaldinho's, Deco's and Marquez's moment'... At 16, Messi respected the hierarchies."


?? - Leo at the tender age of 16 showed this type of mentality and character. And he's carried that throughout his whole career. When he moved to Paris, he didn't take his iconic No. 10 from Ney, even though the Brazilian offered him. He respects his peers and have never put himself above the team. The values that he learnt from a young age have never left him. Both off the field and on the field, Leo has never been about himself. Perhaps this quote of his, best describes him;


“I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with?”
